It feels almost disingenuous to say my car was stolen. It was not broken into. No one hotwired it. I was not carjacked at gunpoint. Nor was it stolen through the recent TikTok trend to boost Kias by sticking a USB drive down the throat of the ignition. Nothing so clever or destructive occurred.
I left Las Vegas, where I live, for a work trip to Phoenix. That morning, my father flew into Las Vegas for a weekend trip with his wife and her grandson. They borrowed my car. While out to dinner that evening, my father left it unlocked with the key inside in the parking lot of the Orleans Hotel and Casino, a budget resort west of the Strip.
I was out drinking with colleagues that night and missed a few calls. When I checked my phone, I saw my father had texted with weird punctuation and fragment sentences: “Call me It’s very important. It’s about important.”
It sounded important. I had also missed a call from the police. I got on the phone with my father first and, with a tone of pure shame, he said, “I’m sorry to tell you this, son. Your car is gone.”

Hey peeps, this is a fundraiser for my friend Quinn.
They got fucked over by life, their bank account was hacked and they lost an entire pay check and then some and just barely managed to make their rent
And then to add insult to injury their car was stolen with all of their work supplies as well as a lot of their drag supplies.
Anything would be helpful, donations or reblogs!

Delara looking at Nadakhan’s Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV: From where did you steal that car??
Nadakhan looking confused at Delara: Steal? I didn’t steal this car! I bought it with money!
Delara looked confused: and from where the fuck you got the money?
Nadakhan proudly said: I stole them.

A little comic inspired by Sting's legendary "Stolen Car." I haven't drawn storyboards in a few years, but now is the perfect time to start again.
Starring Bill. He'd have enough wit for such manipulations.

Nope, nope, nope!
Going back to bed. 2024 isn't turning out any better than 2023 - had my car stolen this morning and the police are typically 'helpful'.
It does get better, eventually - right? Maybe? Kind of? Sort of?

"SEND SIX TO PRISON FOR THEFT," North Bay Nugget. May 18, 1943. Page 14.

Two Get Penitentiary Terms for Stealing Auto in Mattawa
---
Phillippe Grenier [TOP] and Ormond Foubert, both of Montreal, were found guilty when they appeared before Magistrate M. G. Gould in North Bay police court on Monday afternoon on a charge of stealing a car in Mattawa on April 28. Each was sentenced to two years and three months in Kingston penitentiary.
Isadore Grenier, Andre Coursol, Gregor Larocque and Fernand Beausoleil, also of Montreal, charged jointly with the first two men were given sentences of one year each at Burwash Industrial Farm. Coursol pleaded guilty; the others, not guilty.
Heavier sentences were handed out to the first two because each had a previous conviction on a theft charge.
Three witnesses were heard. Murray Kolvinko of Mattawa, owner of the car, told of seeing the six in Mattawa on the morning of the theft, of talking with them and of identifying them later in a Toronto police station.
Mrs. Amy Granfield of Toronto identified two of the accused as being members of a party of six who had parked a car behind a garage at the rear of her property on April 28 and had failed to return for it.
Joseph Shield, a member of the Toronto detective force, told of the arrest on the afternoon of April 28, of the six near where the car was abandoned and very soon after that took place. He told also of finding on the person of one of the accused a number of "postage due" stamps used by the owner of the car in his duties as mail courier. Found also in a cell occupied by the accused had been ration books bearing the name of the victim of the theft.
Before passing sentence, Magistrate Gould said: "While the failure of the accused to give evidence is by no means conclusive against them, still it is a matter to be considered, when joined to the fact that all five who pleaded not guilty were found in Toronto with the one who pleaded guilty and also with the fact that two of them have been definitely identified." Continuing the magistrate said that identification was sufficient to involve all six in the theft.
Crown Attorney E. A. Tilley conducted the prosecution and Arthur Courtmanche was interpreter.
[AL: Grenier was 22, married, a truck driver and had served a two year term at St Vincent de Paul Penitentiary. He was convict #7309 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in a broom factory - he was transferred August 1943 to Collin's Bay Penitentiary, the lower security camp. There he was inmate #2109 and was released February 1945. Foubert was 22, single, a construction welder by trade, and had done time in Montreal and Ontario prisons. He was convict #7310 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in the change room. He was a difficult prisoner and reported five times for insolence or poor conduct. He was transferred August 1944 to Collin's Bay Penitentiary, and released in early 1945.]

Help my friend replace his stolen converter
So my close friend Dean has had the converter from his car stolen, twice now. He spent quite a bit and went into debt paying to get it replaced the first time, and now he’s likely going to have to go further in debt just to take care of it the second time. His job has him required to drive all around L.A. So he really needs transportation.
Anything helps, and I know a lot of people have their own problems to deal with, but every cent makes a difference.

Midge decided to start taking college classes because she's really unhappy with her life. It's the start of the massive amount of marriages that began divorcing in the 70's. 🤔 Women suddenly realizing that they didn't have to stay unhappily married began leaving their husbands to be more empowered and happier with their lives. 💁♀️
