Great News!

You'll never guess who called me during my Phonological Assessment class? The Seattle Police Dept!

MY CAR WAS RECOVERED!!!!!

I don't have a lot of time to write, because I have a mountain of homework to get to, but I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to let y'all know. So let me just try to answer any questions pre-emptively.

1. The car was in fine shape, I have no clue how they got in, but the locks weren't damaged.
2. The ignition is a little jacked, the key slides right in now with no trouble. You could probably stick a flathead screwdriver in it, start the car, and drive just fine.
3. Nothing was taken. Everything was still in its exact spot, including the garage door opener.
4. Only about a 1/4 tank of gas was used.
5. The car was ditched in the U-District, really close to where I had looked, actually.
6. The person who stole my car must have been very short, because the seat was scooted all the way to the wheel (the 93 Sentra is pretty small to begin with).
7. There is an amazing amount of fur all over the back seat, which I guess means that a cat/dog were in on the heist as well ;)
8. I bought The Club, so now my car is about as protected as it can be without installing an alarm.
9. The car is back in my possession, and once again parked in the parking garage...waiting to get stolen again ;)
10. I'm thinking of seeing how much a simple GPS device would be to throw in the car under the seat or something like that. If it's cheap, I might get one just for the hell of it.
11. I'm very happy,extremely grateful and very much relieved...as well as very impressed that it was found in a week--pretty much to the HOUR! (I realized my car was missing around 3:30 last week, and that's when I got the message). It was found by parking enforcement, because it was parked a little skiwampus on the street.

YAY FOR RECOVERED VEHICLES!!!!

I would like to go and celebrate, but instead I just get to read more exciting single case studies for Methods and work on treatment/behavioral objectives! I know, the life of an Speech-Language Pathologist in training is just THAT exciting!
