Dude, Where's my car?

Well, I think I should let everyone know what we were vicitms of the night of June 2nd. Let's tell a little background. Nine at night on June 2nd, Dustin takes out Phoebe and Sophie for a potty break, and everything's fine, he even sees the cars on his way out across the parking lot. We sleep well, and as any morning we get up and get ready for the day, and Dustin makes his way out first to go to work. I get a call about 1 minute later and Dustin is asking me on the other end "Janelle, where's my car? Do I not see it? I've looked around the sides of the building. Am I stupid and just can't see it? I think someone stole my car." I quickly spit out my toothpaste, put on my shoes and rundown the stairs. I go out and Dustin is standing in awe in an empty parking space. "Did you look around the side of the building?" I ask. " Yes! I did! Someone stole the car! it was parked right here, and I saw it last night when I took the dogs out It's gone!"We are both half laughing, half in shock at this point. I immediately call my mom and tell her what has happened, and I hear Mandy's gasp in the background. Mom tells me to call the police and file a report, which we do, but takes a while because someone can't get the right license plate number correct in their file. Eventually the verdict is, our car is now officially stolen in the city of Houston police records........................................ Dustin takes me to work, and my parents pick me up and take me home after grilled cheese and tomato soup at their house. I have thought all day how this could have happened. We really don't know. Who wants an old ugly Honda?
So this is what I'm thinking. Those of you who do know what Dustin drives, which is a GREY 1995 HONDA CIVIC LICENSE PLATE 478 MHM with rust spots on the roof and hood, keep your eyes peeled! We need your help to find our car! But we did laugh quite a bit though that a car could just vanish like that. The stupid people that stole it though are getting a raw deal- it doesn't have AC! HaHa! Take that you thieves!
Well, don't take offense if we don't make it to parties or church on time or work for that matter. It's kinda hard to just up and buy a new car when your last one pulls a vanishing act. And weird enough, just yesterday I told Dustin we should start car pooling to work since he goes past my work on the way out and back. I think someone was preparing me for what the morning was to bring.

Oh, I'm sorry. At least you can laugh at that. I can't believe someone stole your car. I hope you find it. We have a 98 Honda civic so I guess we better watch out. Love you!
