So my car was stolen on friday May 7th in the early am hours. I was up and dressed to go to the gym at 6 when I walked outside and saw my car was gone. I had only had it 3 months at that time. Filed a report, called insurance, called the dealer (since I'm still making payments, etc). The lady friend had stayed over that night and she let me borrow one of her cars. Friday afternoon, I get a fraud alert call from my bank. I keep (kept) a prepaid card in the glove box for emergencies. At the time it was stolen with the car, there was only 20$ on it. They tried to use it 3x at a gas station for 60$ in the deepest east part of Oakland. The former mrs g.oso lives in San Leandro which is about a mile away from this gas station, so she drove by the gas station and the surrounding neighborhood streets to see if she could find it. No dice.
Fast forward to 1:30am Tuesday. I get a call from Pleasant Hill PD, they pulled my car over and arrested the guy who was driving it. I went to pick it up, and it was a mess. Fast food trash all over, they smoked in it, etc. But still in good condition. Insurance paid to have it detailed, and for mechanic to inspect it. The auto detailer found a receipt from Safeway in Alameda dated Saturday morning for flowers and a balloon.
Fast forward again to last night when I got a call from South SFPD. They had busted a crew of guys who went around the bay area stealing catalytic converters and one of the guys had my ID on him. Long story short, I have two drivers licenses and I stupidly kept one in the car bc I'm lazy and don't want to bring my wallet with me to the gym at 6am. And tbf, I usually keep my glove box locked bc of this, but it wasn't when the car was stolen. Anyway, San Mateo Co DA is going to court today to file the case and could be a multi-county affair with the number of people and places these crimes took place.
