I live in a very quite suburban dead end street (so this will probably be the first and last post regarding the matter). There is harldy anything exciting ever going on. The last time there was any "commotion" was when one of the popular contestants of "Big Brother" (popular, but in my opinion highly trashy and distateful reality tv show) moved into the street. Until then all has been on the quite side.
However, the other day as I was reversing out of my driveway, I see that lo and behold there is a Ferrari in our street. Since I know what all the neighbours cars look like I know for sure that it doesnt belong to any of them. My thoughts at the time were that my neighbour (who is a lawyer) was having a wealthy client over for a meeting. Anyways I later come back to check out the car briefly. It is a beauty! A Ferrari Spider 355. It looked almost identical to the car on this website [http://www.dealerrater.com/classifieds/1999-Ferrari-355-Spyder-FOR-SALE-503-fad-0]. As you can see the cost for a second hand car like this is around $92,000, so one can imagine what a new one would cost
Well today, my father comes in and says he has just had a chat with a neighbour. Turns out that the car didnt belong to someone visiting in the street and no one knew who the car belonged to. It turns out later, that someone called the police and in fact the car was stolen[!]. Not only that but on further invesitigation the key was still in the ignition[!!!]. What must of happened is that somone had taken the car for a "joy ride" and just dumped it in our street after having their fun. Anyways the police came today and took away the car.
So thats my interesting bit of news for the day. The only reason I even wrote a comment about it is simply because it is so outlandish and extra ordinary. I mean how many of you the readers have had a $100,000 – $200,000 Ferrari with the keys in the ignition dumped in their street lately?
If any of you have had some wild, crazy or just plain interesting story happen to them lately, please leave a comment on this post. Our lives are generally so plain and ordinary most of the time (thank G-d), that it is good to have some tales of adventure. Every now and again at least…
