OT: Stranded in Chi-Town

[Paul Stenquist]

What a weekend. I drove to Chicago to move my daughter from my mother's 
house to an apartment on the north side. All went well and we were 
finished by late Saturday. After dinner at Heaven on Seven (great 
place), I decided to stay overnight and took a room at the Congress 
Plaza. Big mistake. While I was checking in, someone stole my car (2005 
Jeep GC)  right from under the valet's nose. Gone. 	I'm sure I'll never 
see it again. It probably went under the torch within an hour after it 
was nabbed. So I was left with no way to get home on a weekend. After 
many calls to insurance weekend hot lines and rental companies, I 
finally secured a car that the insurance company would okay as a rental 
loaner and drove back to Detroit. Just arrived a little bit ago. Lost a 
lot of stuff in the car, but, thankfully, none of my cameras were in 
the vehicle.
