Even more good news, is we dont hafta pay, or even do, anything to fix the shit! My AAA full coverage auto insurance will go to the police impound yard, pay the tow and impound fees in full, then, they (aaa) will get their own tow truck, and take the Prelude to a body shop, pay them to replace, and color-match the wing, and replace the battery. Then, i can just pick it up next week, take it to any stereo shop I like, have my sound system replaced, and AAA will pay that bill in full too. I love AAA full coverage. Thay do fukn everything, pay for everything up front, then ask "is there anything else we can do to help?" sweet! full coverage FTW 8)

also, since my car wont be totally ready when i get there, I get a free rental car for as long as my car is in the shop.

Good you got it back quickly. Probably just got pinched by a couple of tweekers. Usually if cars don't get recovered in a week they've gone to a chop shop and been parted out, especially if they're +5 years old.

Wow! I figured your car was speaking Spanish by now!

Where did they (police?) find the car?

Found by some guy named Eddie in La Puente. Crazy. He sounded pretty stoned and confused when he called me, lol. (he dug through my paperwork in the glove box, found a dealership receipt that had my cell and my dads home number on it, and called both of us yesterday to find out why the car was there, ha. )
The car had been abandoned on his property. The cops went there to pick it up. I dunno if he had anything to do with it...I dont really think he did just cause of how n what he said and the effort he put in to reach us, hed actually called and left me 3 messages while i was at work, and called my dad too. Anyways, im just happy my babys ok now and I can get here next week :D

Surely Frank Zappa had a song at some point about Eddie in La Puente.

I'm glad your car's back. They take surprisingly good care of 'em in La Puente.

Would some kind of engine disabler or kill switch prevent this from happening again?

dont need one. From now on we'll just pull the ignition fuse from under the hood. It wont start then. We used ta do that to our friends ludes in the car club to fuk with em....anyway, you can just put it in yer pocket, and the car wont start. then put it in wen you wanna go somewhere, simple, effective, and best of all free :D
