In Which We Sell a Stolen Car
— and Briefly Live As a Pedestrian
When last week’s edition went
to press, we had ignominiously
been returned to car-less status
by the single stroke of a thief
who made away with our loyal
and dear jalopy in the dead of
night
We had of course almost im
mediately resorted to renting
transportation since our insurance
policy covers this contingency.
We drove a compact model for
three days then switched for two
days to an aristocratic lower, mid
dle-priced car Which made us
feel we were piloting a cat.
Then, suddenly, the ins. co. adj.
announced he was ready to set
tle. Gone was the vision of
coasting through the thirty-day
guarantee on car rentals. This
would have got us past the hol
iday season and presumably into
time when we could give serious
attention to a new vehicle.
We were not to have such a
respite.
The adj. was ready. And
having no reason for delay, we
told him to come on.
It was a staggering experience,
a first for os, to be involved in
selling a stolen car. For that is
what took place.
We had to sign over our li
cense tag registration form.
We had to sign over the bill
of sale which miraculously was
located in record time.
This in effect meant we were
turning over without any re
course the full rights, benefits,
etc., to our stolen car, disclaim
ing any future ownership, etc.
These was no real reason for hes
itation. We didn’t have the car
any more, anyhow. Neither does
the ins. co. But they are welcome
to it, lock stock and barrel, if
and when it ever turns up. The
adj. forgot to ask for the keys,
but he can have them anytime.
The fair check turned over to
us went promptly to the bank
and for a couple of days we
blithely told friends how fruitful
it is to sell a stolen car. Quite
legal in this case. We do not at
the moment hold any documents
on any other stolen cars and
so cannot put to any use the ad
vantages in a repeat perform
ance. At least we hope we don’t
have to go through this again.
Meanwhile, the free car rental
at an end, we were back afoot
for the first time in decade*.
Without any conveyance, we
thought of resorting to bicycle or
skates, which suits our personal
income better than a car any
way and which undoubtedly do
not present the usual parking
problems.
We even secretly practiced our
depression-day art of hitch
hiking—with our left hand since
a brief excursion into shoulder
bursitis left hints that heisting a
right arm isn’t always the most
comfortable stance.
For a few days, we even rode
the trolley, returning to the prob
lems of crowded buses, the front-
and-back seating, surrendering-
seats-to-women—the infirm and
which stop to use the front or
back exit and thus save a half
dozen steps.
Late Thursday night, returning
from our second shift of work,
we had a poignant reminder of
the garrulous—or sometimes quar
relsome—drunks who disturb the
bus decorum. This one, a crip
pled veteran, of thirty years’
service, anxious to share his story
with anyone who would listen,
talking to no one and to every
one, his judgment impaired by
the joy juice but not completely
stunted, seeking my favor by ad
dressing me as "young man.” It
was very very sad.
Friday, close friends were ask-

ing why the insurance company
settled so quickly. For one thing,
they saved more than a hundred
bucks in rentals—and perhaps
they know something I don’t, like
how much I’ve handed over
through the decades and this is
the first time for reciprocaton
Besides we think somebody up
there likes us.
Anyway, money in the bank is
an experience not intended for
this writer.
The next day, we jauntily
headed out and soon found a car
dealer willing to part with one of
what he keeps packed on his
lots. . .
In a way, we feel grossly dis
loyal to the dvil rights move
ment. We wound up with a
“white” car—not at all our pref
erence. Colored cars are much
more dashing and imaginative.
