Renault Clio: RIP

I'm in a slightly odd mood.
As regular and long term readers of this journal may remember, my renault clio (the car I passed my test in, the car that used to be my Mum's, the first car I ever owned) was stolen in April. I reported it missing, claimed on the insurance, cried a lot, and finally got Pridwen, my Mini which I have grown to love and adore.
Well, yesterday I got a phone call from the police. My clio had been found. It was found burnt out on a Southwark housing estate and towed away by the council. I got given the number of the car pound, but by the time I'd phoned them, my car had been scrapped. I was told that it was in a pretty bad state and there wasn't much else that could be done with it.
I'm feeling fairly mopey about this, but I guess at least I now know and it's over. My clio is gone.
Rest in peace.
