Yes, fellow Legend fans, it's good news.
Our 86 Legend was stolen sometime last night.
I went out at 7:15 this morning to drive it to work, and it wasn't there.
The 87 was still home, but it was unlocked, so somebody had been inside of it (and the ignition lock cylinder seems to have been damaged a bit).
So, I called the local police to report it. While I was on the line, my phone was beeping, telling me I had another call.
So, after the first call ended, I answered the second. It was the police, asking me if a certain Acura Legend was my car! They had found it abandoned only 5 blocks away, sitting in front of somebody's house.
So, I went over there, and sure enough--my poor baby was parked on the street, her windows left down in the rain
, and the seats leaned back.
No damage, nothing stolen (hey, it's all stock--what's to steal, anyway?). Still had the child seat in the back, nothing taken out of the glove box that I can spot.
I put the key in and drove it to work.
Here's the funny part--I can imagine the joy-riding morons starting it up and thinking they're the shizzle 'cause they just 'jacked an Ac'....
But then they realize that though the headlights work, the dash lights don't turn on (yet), and they can't see the tach/speedometer, or what gear the car is in!:yes:
Then, as they're cursing that, and hoping that they don't speed so the cops don't pick 'em up, they realize that this $%^&# car won't shift into fourth gear!:nutkick:
No wonder they left it soon after picking it up--the odometer said they hadn't gone too far.
But nothing was missing, no damage, and so all's well that ends well. I am going to keep the Club on the white 87 now, because that one has no problems like the 86 does.
