I kept cool as the four cones must mean that there was some construction and my car needed to be towed. Fair enough, onto the internet to solve this problem.

I called lots of numbers and finally got to someone who ask for my plate number which I gave him. He typed then, said "I think its stolen, hold on a sec." About five minutes later, Kojak came back on the phone, "yeah, its not in the computer, you have to go down to the station and report this."

All I could think to myself was "but what about the cones, won’t they save me??" So while on the phone, I headed down to see if maybe there was a sign of hope.

While he’s giving me directions to the precinct, I continue on my quest across the street.

Yeah, wow.

Only in Allston. They just towed my car to another spot. I guess I should be happy, but I just can’t believe it.
