My car was stolen three years ago.
Apparently, I had left a door unlocked and while "tossing" the car, the thief must have found a spare key in the console under the years' collection of detritus that I had collected, so no damage was done to the ignition.
It was found two days later, but had been washed, waxed, and detailed. And I mean DETAILED. Rims and tires had been cleaned, trunk had been vacuumed, windows had been washed inside and out. Console had been cleaned out. The key was in the ignition.
Our assumption was that the theft had "sold" the car to someone else and had dropped it off to be picked up. I can only hope that when the "buyer" didn't get the car, he went looking for the thief.....
