The Suburban was stolen sometime early Tuesday morning. Onstar could not locate the vehicle and fearing that it had been tampered with discontinued their attempts to find our beloved Suburban.
Then on Wednesday morning at round 7:30 am we receive a call from the Onstar people telling us that the were able to obtain a signal from the car for roughly 30 min and they would be contacting Metro Police to investigate. Unfortunately, they weren't able to locate it. My guesses are that by the time they got to the location it was already gone.
Thursday we get a call from Onstar stating that the Onstar system had been compromised and they were going to discontinue their attempts to locate the suburban. (didn't they say that already??)
So Jeremiah spoke with the Insurance Adjuster and he basically tells him..Your car is more than likely GONE GONE GONE! I guess we just figured that was true but we would have to wait 14 to 30 days before we could do anything about it.
So last night we really needed to go to Costco (like bad...we've been milk-less for 2 days!) We hadn't eaten dinner so we figured that costco pizza & hot dogs sounded delicious for a quick meal (that I didn't have to cook.) So I pile everyone in the van and Jeremiah was on his way out to the car when the phone rings, it's Metro. They found our suburban and we need to come pick it up within the hour or they are gonna have it towed at our expense. So our plans change....we still haven't eaten...but we are on our way to 16 N 27th Street in Las Vegas, Nevada.
(Side note: anyone who knows anything about Las Vegas knows that if the streets begin with letters or numbers you don't want to be out there past dark....GHETTTTOOOOO!)
So back to the story---we go on our hunt for the address into uncharted territory (thats only half true because I literally work about 2 miles from there) we got lost and then finally found 27th Street...a one lane alley type road into a crack village (okay not quite THAT bad...but close) We find the two metro vehicles and our truck parked at some project type apartment. I guess the manager of the apartments called the police and said that the suburban wasn't one that she recognized. (Scary that maybe one of the people living at the apartments had taken it) So my suburban was intact and the police had us check to see if there was anything missing or if there was anything that didn't belong to us. We found a golf club, a stake, a big metal pipe, several construction type tools, soda cans....but nothing major. The little caps to our rims were taken off so I think they were trying to steal the rims (but they are stock rims nothing fancy) So Guess what?? The only thing realy missing from my car??? THE FETCHIN' CARSEATS!!!!!!! WTH?!?!?!??!?!?! They steal my car...they trash it...but then they don't take anything but the carseats?!?! UG!! So Jeremiah had to drive it home but since the ignition is shot he had to start it with a screwdriver (provided so nicely by the thieves) we have to take it in to the shop today to assess the damage. I went and bought new carseats last night (which the insurance is going to reimburse me for.) Oh and we finally did get to Costco 20 minutes before it closed...starving...ate some food, grabbed some milk, and left. I have to go back tonight to finish the real shopping, but atleast we got our suburban back. Now lets see how long it takes to get it fixed.

That is insane! I'm glad you got it back, though. Was the dance bag still there? The cello book? Is insurance going to cover the repairs? Are the police going to try and figure out who stole it? I'm so full of questions :P
got the dance bag...can't find the cello book...insurance is gonna cover it all with a $100 deductibule (woo hoo!) and no the police could care less....
I am glad you got your car back. My sister-in-law had her car stolen from her house a couple of years ago and when they found it there was even personal mail from the culprit. The cops did nothing! They could do fingerprinting, but they don't care enough to do that.
I am so glad they found it!!! That is insane about the carseats. They most likely just threw them out to make more room for their drugs, or friends, or friends on drugs.
