"a Saab story"
 
   While my father was here working on the minideck today, I mentioned (not for the first time) that I wished I hadn't let him sell the Saab. He casually dropped the information that he sees it reasonably often, because the people he sold it to live near him, but that they seem to have abandoned it under a tarp in their yard.

I wish I didn't know that.

That kind of sucks. On the other hand, if it's just sitting under a tarp, I imagine they've run into other troubles that make it impractical to keep driving it, either during the hour or so of good weather, or with the top up. Probably better them than you.

I realize that's likely, but I also don't care. I've spent my whole life Being Practical about these things, often under protest. Now I want my damn car back.

Fair enough. Do you have a plan, or are you not yet at the Plotting stage?

The last time I had an expensive project, I decided to treat it like I was in a heist film.
I didn't get the Everything Goes Wrong part of the plot, but that's life.

   If it's under a tarp, they probably wouldn't notice right away if you staged an elaborate heist that replaced it with a similarly-shaped pile of cinderblocks...
