Missy's Run-in with Richardson Police







Remember my old Ford Taurus? The one that I traded in over a year ago when we bought our Galant? Well, I got a call from the Richardson Police Department this morning at work telling me to call them back because my Taurus was involved in a theft at a Walgreen's. I called them back and spoke to a very nice detective who had been trying to track me down. She said she had found a Melissa Saunders in Arlington but there was no phone number then discovered that a Melissa Saunders had the same date of birth and social security # as a Melissa Fowkes and found a number for Shirley Fowkes. So the detective called mom, gave her a heart attack when she asked if she knew a Melissa Saunders. Mom said that she thought I was dead in a ditch somewhere! After explaining the situation, mom gave her my work number and I called her back when I got in.

Turns out, my old Ford Taurus was sold from the dealership we traded it in and the name was never changed on the title. The detective wanted to find out where we traded in the car so that she could contact the dealership to find out why the name was never changed. I, of course, wasn't in trouble and the detective was so nice! The guy who now owns my car stole 3 cartons of cigarettes, he must have been desperate!
