So we got a call last night from the police saying that our car had been found in some seedy area of Salt Lake (when we went to get it, the police officer said it was an area he didn't even like to be in without another officer for backup). On the phone, the police officer asked us what kind of shape the car was in before it was stolen, we told him it was in really good shape with no body damage or anything, his response was, "they beat the hell out of it". It was true too. They managed to smash the front passenger's side bumper, which now has no light, smash both side mirrors, one is almost falling off, the other is somewhere in Salt Lake. Apparently they got a flat and changed the tire... all we can figure is that the car was somewhere they couldn't risk it being found so they had to change the tire to ditch it. Aaron's car stereo was stolen, not that surprising. I guess they didn't like our Jack Johnson and Fiona Apple CDs though that were in the car... I guess that just wasn't their style. There is now a puddle of oil (a big one) under Aaron's car which means they probably did significant damage to the underside of his car. We also think one of the axles are bent. Here are a couple pictures, although you just kind of have to see it to get the full effect. We are now waiting for the insurance adjuster to figure out if it is totaled, considering all the doors would probably have to be replaced in addition to the front of the car and any damage they did to the engine and whatever else, I have little hope that they will be able to fix it, especially since the car is a 94 and probably not worth that much. I guess it is just lucky we didn't cancel our comprehensive insurance this last summer like we were planning on otherwise we wouldn't get anything for it.
