Renault Clio: RIP

[annwfyn]

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.

Well, at least you know for sure what happened to it. I don't know why they burn them after they pinch them, it's beyond my understanding. But then I was boggled by the idiots that smashed a window in one of my cars years ago to pinch some mint humbugs and the dials of my tape player :/

Probably for two reasons...

One, it is SHINY FIRE!

Two, although this is crediting them with some intelligence, to try and wipe out any forensic evidence of their presence. I know, I've seen too much CSI. :p


But dude, they stole your mint humbugs...

I know, once I'd stopped ranting, I was definitely in WTF mode... :)

Think of the clio as the ashes which the Phoenix of Pridwen has arisen from.

Though it's still crap.
