911 Operators of Reddit Answer the Question: What’s the Strangest Call They Took

If something that belongs to you is stolen, you can report it to the police and they will do their best to recover it, but sometimes that’s just not in the cards. Some thieves are very sophisticated, and they are good at making things disappear once they have stolen them. And if it’s hard to recover something that was recently stolen, imagine how much harder it is if the thing was stolen a while ago.

I admire this lady’s optimism, but after 30 years, that car is gone. There is no way the police are going to find it now. Equally important: if they did find the car now, it would be at least 30 years old, and I think there is a very high chance that it would not be in particularly good shape. Maybe it’s time to just let this one go.
