Stolen Car

[tomscholfield.livejournal.com]

A word of warning, my car was stolen sometime this morning before 6:00AM from Whipple Street, where Highland and Willow intersect.

If anyone has seen a black Hyundai Elantra with Maryland Tags any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Be sure to call Pat's; they're pretty notorious for crap like this.

I think they have a deal with the cops or something. They were together towing a car on Shea as I was walking to the bike path, talking it over, and gave me a really sketchy look as I approached, and the cop drove away really fast. It was the shadiest exchange. I wish I could describe it better.

Yeah, Pat's is the city's official towing company. They are also part-owners of the Somerville News.

i've often seen them together because the cops want to put the fat ticket on your car before it gets towed. but usually it just raises ones blood pressure, rather than being shady.

My roommate and I experienced something like that a few months back (her car) and posted about it here:

Definitely somewhat shady, esp. since at first the cop supported charging her the fee to not be towed, then supported lowering it to the amount of cash she had on hand, then when we put up a fight finally made a call and suddenly we could go to Pat's Tow to get her money back. Sketchy.
