Have you ever had bad luck? Well! What could be worse, your car stolen once and never seeing it again or your car getting stolen more than once? Is that possible?? Well according to one incident gone viral, a woman whose 1990 Honda kept getting stolen ultimately thought of putting a ‘snarky’ note in the glove compartment asking the thief to leave it in a place where the car won’t be towed. The ploy worked.
What’s even funnier is the fact that she was so fed up with towing that she even asked the thief to throw a rock into the towing office window.

'If you're reading this, you're probably stealing my car': This is what the owner a woman of 32 left in her car glove box. The woman from Portland whose car is constantly getting stolen shared the details on Reddit. She even got back the vehicle after she had left the amusing note for the thief.

When she got her car returned to her, she posted on Reddit 'I left a snarky note in the glove box of my Honda the last time it was stolen. Just recovered the car from the most recent theft. They read my letter and I think it worked; they ditched it in front of a house this time (YAY).'

She starts off by saying “if you’re reading this, you’re probably stealing my car. She also tells the thief she is broke and that the thief may not get into trouble as long as he doesn’t kill someone.

This is a bit weird writing a letter to a thief but well, there all kinds of people in the world. He’s what she writes next? She implores the thief t leave it in a convenient place because she can’t afford the towing and getting her car out of car jail.

He also requests the thief to keep the note on the dashboard. The reason she asks this is that she would be able to collect her own car rather than get it towed and pay the high towing ffee which is the biggest problem with stolen cars.

She tells him to enjoy his ride and to go throw a brick into window of the towing company as they are the worst people ever. Well, that’s the way she feels and there may be hundreds who may agree with her.

Redditors reading her post agreed that Honda’s were being stolen where one person’s Honda was left over in Longview where it was towed which is the worst thing about such an experience because it was $275 for hauling the car around just one block. This woman whose car was constantly stolen all the time also mentioned that the thief left a jacket in her car but stole her registration so they are aware of where she lives “Maybe they'll stop by for a beer.'
