Grand Theft Auto: part 1

My van was stolen on January 6th, found on the 14th, and we were notified by certified letter on the 26th that it was at the impound lot in Baltimore. I guess with over 4,000 vehicles at the impound, the best they can do is let you know two weeks after the fact that your vehicle has been recovered.

Since you can get no information about your vehicle by phone, we drove over to look at the van on Saturday. That was an educational trip. Let's just say that it was best that the girls and I stayed in the car (with the doors locked) while Lance stood in line to show his ID and get into the lot to look at the van. He found it in pretty good shape, nothing visibly damaged except the ignition that had been hot wired, and a back window that had been pried open. Of course, everything we had left in the van was gone. The only thing they didn't steel was Chloe's car seat. It had been unbuckled from the seat and placed in the back of the van. Thanks. We had the van towed to a shop in Westminster where it sits now waiting to be repaired.
