I had stayed over at R's new place last Saturday and you can park for free on Bloor from 9pm Saturday night until 1pm on Sunday. Noon the next day, we walk down to fetch the car and it's DISAPPEARED! Then we see a sign on a lamp post saying "NO PARKING SPECIAL EVENT". The Santa Claus parade! We didn't remember seeing the sign the night before but we figure the car must have gotten towed, and I'd have to pay the $200-300 fee to get it back from Etobicoke.
Then R recalled a friend's car got towed by the police to a nearby side street. So we walk further west, look around, and see a Corolla up on the next street. And it's her, jutting out slightly, but stuffed elephant and rubber snake firmly sitting on the dash.
On the windshield is this charming note.
Dear Chief of Police,
Thanks for not impounding my car. But please, next time, leave the note where the car was originally parked, with an indication of where it can be found, rather than towing it in the cloak of night to an undisclosed location with the note on the car that has already been found.
Love,
e
