So me and two of my friends go drinking at a local bar and I'm the one who ends up driving. Well I'm their about an hour or so and we decide it's time to leave. We walk out and notice that my car is missing. Immediately I know that it was stolen so I drive my fist into a wall and my blood is boiling. I'm a slow to anger guy but once I reach that point I tend to lose control.
I call my friend who is a cop and tell him what happened, he says he'll keep an eye out and I should file a report. So while the three of us are walking to the police station my cop buddy flags us down and says "I found your car."
The car was within a block of where I said it was stolen from and assumed I had forgot where I parked it. I thought he had mistaken my car, anyways we piled into his police car and head to my car. We pull in behind it and it's parked all on the curb and indeed yes it is my car. So I get out of the squad car and begin to walk to my car.
At this point in time my cop buddy thinks I have just been drinking and forgot where I parked my car. Although I haven't drank that much and I know that my car was moved by someone.
As I approach the car we all notice someone slumped over in the driver's seat. My cop buddy makes me step back and begins radioing the station about the situation. I look at my friend and ask him to just get back in his squad car and act like he never saw a thing and let me and my friends take care of it. Fortunately he refuses and the guy is arrested and taken to jail (otherwise I'm sure I'd be the one behind bars right now).
The guy ended up stealing my car with a jiggler key. The cops had to ask me what it was and how it was used. I explained that it's a basic key that looks similar to the generic car key and when you stick it in the ignition and jiggle it, it can start the car. Then they asked me how I knew about the key and I had to explain that I didn't grow up in Montana but rather South Florida.
