It’s Criminal ~ The Violation of Puffy


In August, Dave saw a news report that a rash of thefts of Honda Accords had been solved, with the presumed-innocent behind bars.  This story was of particular interest to us because that’s what Sarah drives.  The next day, as we enjoyed our favorite summertime evening activity – a cocktail on the patio – Sarah called and said, “I think my car was stolen.”  Sho ‘nuff.  After searching the employee lot at Intermountain Medical Center where she works, including a quick ride-along in the security guard’s golf cart, Sarah notified the police that her sweet baby Puffy had, indeed, been ripped off.

Thus commenced two crazy weeks with test drives, financial discussions, and phone calls to and from police, insurance and each other.  Want to read the gory details?  Check out the timeline.


And then the call came.   The Davis County Police had pulled over someone driving the car.  Those smarties were taken to jail, and the car was towed to an impound lot.  Dave and Sarah headed to Kaysville to pick up Puff, which was relatively intact, but had been sorely violated.

If you recognize any of the 'stuff' below, please let me know!
