A repost from another community.

Just a heads up. Dj-black mail just a had his mini cooper stolen out in Somerville. If you have seen his car, contact the Somerville police.

blue Mini Cooper hatch 2008 Mass plate 195 BY9

The vehicle has been found. It was towed and somehow, Somerville PD was never notified.

This isn't the first time this has happened in Somerville. Several years ago, the same thing happened to a friend of mine, only it took several months for them to realize their error, by which time the insurance had already settled and she had a new vehicle. But she was out all kinds of money and had to go through a huge hassle with the towing company and the police when they were the ones who messed up.

The lesson being, if your car goes missing, call the towing company as well as the police. I am guessing these are not isolated incidents and there have been others as well.

But in the meantime, a relatively happy ending to this story.
