Tom the Repo Man

I didn't get to watch the convention last night. But from what I've heard, and read, it seems that Zell did a great job making the Dems look like the wussies they are, and giving people like Chrissy Matthews a hard time.

I didn't watch the convention because I had to repo a car. And when I mean repo, I mean steal it back.

A friend of mine, G, has two PT Cruisers. A nice black one, and a red one. Some guy he knew had a problem with his truck, so G gave this guy his red PT Cruiser until the truck got fixed. This happened in May.

Well, after about a month, G wanted his car back. He called this guy, but his phone was disconnected. He went to the guy's house, and he had moved. He went to the place where he worked, but he didn't work there anymore.

Well, after about 2 months of this he went to the place where this guy tended bar a few nights a week and found the car. The guy said that he would drop it off in 2 days. Two days came and went and G still didn't get his car back.

So that brings us to last night. G calls me, and asks me to repo his car. Since I can drive a stick, I said yeah, and went out. We went to where he tended bar, and found him. The car wasn't there but the guy said the car was at his parents house about 20 minutes away. We said we would go to his parents house. He said they were sleeping. We said call them and wake them up.

Now we had the spare key to the car so at least if we found it, we could just take it. After a 20 minute drive we found his parent's house, they were not sleeping and not even in their pajamas. The car, though, was not there. And the guy didn't even call to tell them G and I were on the way.

So we drove back to the bar, and happened to look in a parking garage 2 blocks way and lo and behold, there was the PT cruiser. We got it back.

The car was scratched up, missing a mirror, and has 12,000 new miles on it. It needed gas and only had a quart of oil in it.

The guys dog pissed in the back seat, and there were about 30 dollars in parking tickets under the seat.

But he has his PT Cruiser back.
