Found Again
The police were successful in finding the stolen car again. Just like last time, it was found in a distant location that troubled Anne even further because it was difficult for her to travel so far a length just to fetch her own car. But this time, the condition of the car was not the same. It had a broken window, smashed badly, and the stereo was stolen.
Finding A Solution
Anne knew that she would have to find a solution to the problem now and ignoring this would lead to the stealing of the car yet again. She would have to do something for saving her from traveling far off distances to get back her own car which was being used as a joyride vehicle by some mischievous group of people.
No Replacement
Anne was way past the time period where she would think of getting a new car. That would cost her a lot of money and she was not ready to spend so much on a luxurious possession that would be of not much use for her. So, she decided upon repairing her old classic itself.
Planning Solutions
The retired lady thought of a very unconventional way to get rid of the thieves. She did not take up to things like steering lock, wheel block, gear lock or taking out the battery of the car. She had other plans, which were very different from the general ways that people follow.
Final Outcome
Anne had decided to leave something for the thieves in case they would come again, which she was certain about that they would. She wrote one page LETTER to them and decided to leave it on the dashboard of her car, for the thieves to read it when they would try stealing her car again for the third time.
Aware Of Consequences
Anne was very much aware of the fact that her act of writing a letter and putting it in her car probably won’t stop the thieves from stealing it. But she had other intentions now. Her main motive was not to stop the car from being stolen, although it would have been better if she could do that, her motive was something else, something unique.
