OK, there's a big catch. Remember when I said we went out for candy reinforcements in the trick or treater thread? Well, Mr. Planet left the keys in the front door and one or our trick or treaters stole my car, went for a joy ride, apparently crashed, and abandoned it. I found out this morning when I went to work. We go to pick it up from the place it was towed to and they left their black backpack in my backseat full of their candy with the candy I gave them right on top.

So they tricked and got treated?

This breaches some heavy halloween etiquette.

Wow.

I got to witness an accident this past weekend involving a joy-rider. Called the cops and dished out info, etc. Fun stuff.

That really sucks though. How does insurance handle a thing like this?

--P--

Oh, they cover it, just like they would cover it if a relative who was in your house took your car keys without your permission and did the same thing.

So that means you pay a high deductable, and your premiums shoot through the roof?

I'm sure it will go up, but the comprehensive deductible's only $250.

I assume Mr. Planet is paying a heavy price for this faux pas.

If you were giving out candy corn, I think this is justified.

Otherwise, yes, breach of etiquette.

Preach on brother man.

Did the backpack contain any materials that could be used to make an identification?
