This Is One Of My Fears


I have a fear that I will not be able to find my car that I park at the mall or a school. I have dreams about that scenario. Once in a dream I rode a horse to school and left the horse where I knew I would find it when I came out. Then, of course, the entire parking lot was full of horses the same color when I did finish class.

Even on that show 'Mall Cops' they always have to look for cars because stupid people forget which lot they parked in because the 'Mall of America' is so huge and they just get drunk or confused.

I know that one day I will be SURE that I parked in 'Lot A-1' and will come out to find my car gone. Then, like the numnut in the story below, I will report it stolen only to be caught by police driving the same car I found in 'Lot A-2' twenty minutes earlier. I will continue to dream about it until it actually happens. I hope I have a good dementia related excuse because any other reason is just embarrassing.

"After covering stupid criminals for years now, one of my favorite crimes are ones that have no victims and also have no value to anyone at all. Like this crime committed by Ryan Roland, who was arrested after reporting his car was stolen…because he was driving it.

The 24-year-old Roland told Rome, Georgia police that someone entered his motel room when he was gone and had stolen his car.

Officers waited to find Roland’s car on the road. When they saw the car with the plates Roland gave them, they pulled the driver over. Only to find out that it was Roland himself.

Roland was subsequently thrown in jail. He told police that a friend had borrowed the car but didn’t return it when he was supposed to. Which explains nothing at all and everything, all at the same time."

In México, we used to have many red VWs. However in your picture you have either an American or Canadian car, so it would be easy to distinguish.

That still doesn't help my fear of losing my car.
