Oldest daughter got a traffic ticket in the mail today, citing her truck (or a vehicle with her tags removed and put on them), for parking in a no parking zone. She called the court to say her truck had been reported stolen on the 3rd of July, and the ticket was for the eighth. Madness ensuing with her calling the detective on her case (they're nowhere near as dramatic as on t.v.....still waiting for a call-back), and calling to report the tag stolen, which doesn't automatically happen when the vehicle is stolen. Who knew? The police are supposedly going to swing by the address showing on the ticket to see.
All this occurring and second son drives by there, and of course the truck isn't there, but a few houses down is a place with a jacked up pick-up, similar to hers, but son's not convinced it's hers. If so, it's been stripped and re-worked. Unrecognizable, except for the make and year.
And her re-imbursement check came today from the insurance company. Hope this gives her closure. That possibly her truck is toast. Endings can be very good things.
Note to all. If you have a vehicle stolen, report the tags as taken as well. Then, if it's found, they'll have the tags in the database and the computer should pick up on that if the police log the tags in. Just a (hopefully unnecessary) heads up.
HUH. Update here. Apparently the women at the court who told our daughter you had to report tags separately as stolen from the vehicle was mistaken. The detective she's been working with said that they do go hand in hand. Learning all the time.
