Then my one week trip turned into a two week trip, coupled with numerous flight delays, a sleepless night spent in the airport, I returned to my normal bus stop instead of the one I had raced to two weeks prior. When my car wasn't there, the only conclusion I could come up with at 6:30am in the freezing rain was my vehicle had been jacked.

Two days later, a light bulb went off in my head about what I had done!

So... no stolen car. Just massive brain failure on my part. UGGGGH.

But hey, my boy isn't being chopped up in a garage somewhere by some punks! So happy ending, even if embarrassing =)
All's well that ends well. And you've gone a long way in making people feel better when they lose their Mercedes in a parking lot. Plus I'm sure you gave the cops at the precinct a good laugh.
