So exciting morning this morning. I woke up at 3am hearing S15 in the living room. I'm like what are you doing up? He says our car's gone. I kept saying what are you saying? He said some guys took our car. Apparently their noise or bright lights on the truck woke him up. Sure enough car was gone. I asked him why he didn't tell me sooner (they came at 1:30), he said he was scared and didn't know. I tell him ok next time someone's taking mom's car please come tell me.
For some reason I am really calm, either my ADs are really great or maybe lack of sleep. I call 911 and they said the credit union repo'd my car. I said well since I made all the payments isn't that theft? They said they can't do anything.
They have a webpay service on their site I make the payments on and I went on and my 7/19 payment they took out the 5.95 service charge (they charge for making the payment). But they didn't pay it! I had almost $1000 in my account at that time, so clearly their screw up. Can you imagine???
I called up H at 3:00 b/c his name is on the title; I was half asleep and freaking out a little. He called me back and said they had asked for records or something like that (and sounded like he didn't send them) but he said they shouldn't have repoed. I didn't know at the time the web pay screwed up though.
H has actually been really great about this. He said he'd pick up the kids right away, and I said we're fine, we just got groceries and everything. I could call friends for rides or a taxi or ambulance in emergency. He's sent me several emails, and he was the one that had me check my bank account & helped me figure this out. He also said he's going to be at the bank at 9 about it.
I'm strangely way calmer than I should be. The kids and I have been laughing about it. D9 went back to sleep but S15's been up since 1:30! I watched some tv with him and been joking. He told me he was scared at the time they took the car, but now says he wasn't---trying to play tough guy but he's so not.... Karen
