My mom found my car and we're the worlds biggest idiots.
My mom found my car. It wasn't stolen. I met her Monday morning at her water aerobics to go to the beach and we left it there. We both forgot about it. I feel like such an idiot. I can't believe we forgot. My mom said it's evidence of how much stress we're under. I say it's evidence that I did not drink enough last night. 
but I am very very very relieved to have my POS back!

No one is laughing at the fact that the police surely had better things to do than look for a perfectly safe car, but the fact that it was more of an uncomfortable giggle of "Oh man, I would hate to do that. I'd be mortified."
I don't think anyone is laying down what you are picking up.
I'm a Debbie downer too. Second, can you step back and look at your life? Forgetting you left your car somewhere and then filing a police report gets the side eye from me.
I honestly don't think anybody under this amount of stress needs to get the side eye for an honest mistake. Nobody was laughing at the fact that the police were looking for a perfectly safe car, and I'm sure they'll not be difficult about it, as it happens. I don't think it warrants telling someone to take a step back and fix their life. Sometimes you're just stressed and do thoughtless things.
Laner, maybe take this as a sign that you need some time to yourself if you can. Maybe just a long soak in a hot bath and a good book. So sorry, and I don't envy your conversation with the police. So glad you didn't lose your car either, no matter if it is a POS or not! Been there, done that!
"My 101 List - Updating asap, I swear!
Third Debbie Downer. Definitely not funny when there's actual crimes to be investigated.
I think you need to get some help. Obviously the stress you're experiencing is affecting you deeply & that needs to be addressed ASAP before it gets any worse. It is not normal to just forget you left your car somewhere. I can see walking outside & thinking "OH ***!" but within a few minutes thinking "Wow, I'm a moron, I left it at X yesterday."
You accused your XH & XMIL of stealing your car. That's a pretty serious accusation & I'd be livid if I were them. Do they know? I'm sure the police contacted them. Do you plan on calling them to apologize for the mistake?
Geez... do you need a hug or something?
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply.
I'm genuinely concerned for Lanerbelle. That kind of behavior is not normal.
I completely get what you all are saying, but I don't think anyone was laughing at the fact that a senseless investigation happened. I also agree that I have no idea how this could happen to the extent that it did...but it did.. Also, I could be wrong, but I think she said the police listed XH as a potential suspect since the divorce wasn't legal yet.
I'm implying that your concerned post comes across as more than a little condescending and I'm wondering if you are just having a bad day.
I don't know. Maybe I'm going all mama-bear over this because laner is sweet and intelligent and obviously knows that the stress in her life is impacting her negatively and she needs to do something about it as well as being fully aware of the ramifications reporting an unstolen car stolen
You're assuming I'm being condescending. I'm not. I'm pretty straightforward & maybe you mistook that for condescention. I understand, as I mistook your comment for snark.
I think Lanerbelle is a very sweet girl going through a rough time. I can't even imagine the toll a divorce must take on one's psyche. That's why I suggested she get some help.
Roger that. I believe we have found common ground in our mutual concern for Laner's wellbeing.
So with that, GET SOME STINKING SLEEP LANER!
Advil PM, Tylenol PM. Yoga, punching a pillow... whatever you gotta do to get it out and get yourself right, do it.
Thank you to the PPs who have defended me, it really means a lot to me.
10-4.
& please PLEASE don't mix sleeping aids with booze. We like you.
Late too, but ditto to the above! Sorry this had to happen Laner, but we ALL have made mistakes that have allowed us to take a step back and say "Dang WTF is going on??!?!" Hang in there.
