Stop SMITING me already!!!
This exciting episode . . . “Dude, where’s my car?”
By now, everyone should have heard about Cynthia and I getting mugged at gunpoint in the Quarter last weekend.
Well, now, I am sad to report that my car was stolen from in front of Cynthia’s house last night. (No broken glass on the ground either.)
I got to Cynthia’s around 8:30ish last night to watch The Incredibles before we went out.
When the movie was over, we went outside to have a cigarette.
We’re laughing about something when my head whips around to the parking spot where my car was parked and I say, “Ummm . . . where’s my car?”
Cynthia and I look at each other, blink a few times, then bust out laughing.
For hours afterward, I was prone to random giggle fits.
I made the police report last night over the phone. I go to pick up a rental tomorrow.
I just want a new car. Bear (my car) was limping pretty badly on one of his legs to begin with. I thought I might have to put him down soon anyway.
Please please please please (insurance company) give me lots o’ money for a new car!!!!
I’m holding my breath the next few days for that dreaded phone call, “Ma’am, we’ve found your car”. Nooooooo!
And if they do find it, I hope it is messed up, so that they have to fix everything that is wrong. A new engine would be sweet!
*sigh*
I need to get ready. I’m going to the R-bar later for Crawfish. It starts at 6pm this weekend.

Saturday night (read: VERY early Sunday morning) my friend Cynthia and I left the Dervish, and were walking back to her car to go home. We walked down Gov. Nicholls then turned down Chartres. There is a hotel right there and a convent next to it. We were parked right in front of the convent gates.
Once we turned onto Chartres, we noticed a silver Crown Victoria idling with someone in the driver's seat. The windows were tinted so we couldn't really see the driver. Once we get a little past the car, 2 young guys come up from behind out of nowhere.
One guy grabs Cynthia from behind and had his gun pointed low. But, Cynthia had on a collar with spikes. So, as soon as his arm hit that, he loosens his hold on her slightly, but brings the gun right in her face.
The other came around to my front and blocked my path.
They both talked quietly to both of us which is why I was confused at first. All I knew was some guy brushed past me and said something.
I said, "What??" He looks at me and said, "Give me the purse and no one gets hurt". I look at him, then look down to see the gun, then I look over and to see the other guy had grabbed Cynthia. So I say Okay and slowly hand the purse over.
Then he said "Now turn around and run." So I turn around and start walking away. I notice Cynthia isn't beside me. The guy was still holding her. I call out to her and the guy lets her go.
They tell us again to Run and Run faster. Then when we got to the corner, they told us to Go Right, which is what we were doing anyway. We were running straight back to the Dervish to our friends. Luckily, Brandi & Keith, Shelly, Chris, and Candace, and a few others were still there.
We call the cops several times before they show up almost an hour later. They got our story and said that a similar report was just taken in the Treme area.
They go off looking for the guys and said that another officer would be by to get the full report. By this time, the sun started to come up. So, we went next door to Aunt Tikki's (a 24hour bar) to wait for the other cop. He didn't show up till 9am.
While in Tikki's, we had people buying us shots and drinks. I did one shot then switched to water and coke. Sean, god bless him, bought us a pack of smokes which we promptly chainsmoked to oblivian. And I got hit on by a Rock-a-billy who slipped me a note with his number. lol
We got back to my place by 10am, called card companies and crashed for a few hours.
We figured the guys had to be hiding behind the idling car. They probably were waiting on drunk tourists to stagger back to the hotel we were walking in front of.
Anyhow, my cell phone was in my purse and I lost almost all my numbers.
So, could people please send me their numbers to this email? irulan74@earthlink.net
