Car stories Part 1

So I know that some have heard the story already but I figured I should put it down here just for reference. Last Friday night I was playing basketball in the gym with the kids. That was a usual thing for the end of the week. With not that many kids in the building there isnt a lot that goes on Friday nights. This is where the excitement begins. Running after a ball my keys fell out of my sweatshirt and slide up against the wall. I didnt think anything of it since everyone leaves things laying there. It was actually under a chair that another staff was sitting on. When the day was over I went to get my keys and they were gone. I first thought that staff had picked them up. When no one said that they had I looked outside and when my car wasnt where I had parked it I really thought that they were just playing a joke on me. But everyones face got serious and I realized that my car wasnt moved it was gone. Another Club kid said that he noticed another member with the keys and told him to bring them to the office. That is what I needed to hear. I called the cops. It had been about 10 minutes so I wasnt sure what the outcome was going to be. We had a description of the boy so we asked staff if anyone knew his name for sure. We got it. We looked him up in our computer noticed that he only lived four blocks from the Club. One of my coworkers decided to drive around and look for my car, while I waited to hear from the cops. We got a call that my coworker had located my car so I jumped in with another and quickly drove to the scene. We called the cops again and again. The car was parked a block away from the boys house. So we sat there for close to an hour waiting for the cops to come. In the meantime the boy and a couple friends decided to comeback and take the car for the joyride that he wanted. When they saw all of the people around the car they turned and ran. A couple of the staff took off after them in a car but had no luck finding them. Finally the cops came. It took forever. They got my information and said that they would go knock on the boys door to ask questions but since no one saw him driving the car they had nothing on him. Thankfully the boy had got the keys stuck in the ignition so I could just turn it on and drive off. It did end up costing close to $100 to get a new key and get the old one out. I laughed the whole thing off but it was a nerve racking experience.
