... from a post office parking lot. No, not towed. I spoke to the supervisor there.
I'm waiting for a cop to show up to get a full report. Already filed over the phone with DPD.
They used my spare key. Ugh.
Well, my 850 just got stolen

Matt,
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Let me know everything I can do to help. I have some 850 spare parts around (small stuff) an obviously anything you need is yours. That includes tools, any work I can do here for you and if needed - my butt on a bus to come help.

Thanks everyone, your support is great.
I'm not torn up about it. To be philosophical, things like this are among the reasons I started MVS.
Cars are great, but to most MVS users, they're a necessary evil, one that simply sucks money out of pockets when they break. By owning a car, you sign a deal that binds you to a random myriad of disappointment and frustration. This is that.

I have been in the car fixing biz for a long time and I learned a long time ago that you should try to not get too attached to any piece of machinery. I'm not succeeding at this completely with the 04 V70R I have now. I like it WAY too much. But if it went away tomorrow I'd find another or something else entirely that I like.
There are things like family and even your pets that you can use your "worry" on. Cars can be replaced.
