"We have found your car, and if you come right now you can drive it home", said the policeman. Of course, we were in Canada, having our lovely Mother's Day lunch, so this was not going to happen. David and Suzanne and the girls were at church so no one was able to get our car. We suggested that the car be towed to the lot controlled by the police but run by a private organization. They decided to tow the car to David and Suzanne's home, just in case they had gotten home from church, but no luck, so the car went on to the impounding lot. Our car is found. Unfortunately the two boxes from the back of the car are missing so my valuable clothes are lost for ever. And of course we have to check to see if the car is intact, but at least our car is back at home, or at least, it will soon be back home, I hope.
As everything else, when you solve one problem you get another. The car could not be released without a VIM number and the car will not be released without a notarized letter from Ken authorizing David or Suzanne to drive away the car. The cost for the storage is going up. Today we went to the township office and sent off the notarized letter. but it did not arrive, so we still have not gotten the car back home, and the charges are still going up. Suzanne and David must go and retrieve the car, which means both of them must drive over together then drive our car home. Life is never simple. It took Ken fifteen minutes on the phone with Amica this morning to get the VIM number from them, before we could get the letter notarized and then faxed. I am sure that David and Suzanne wished we had never left our car in their driveway. Now the real question is what do we do next?
