Well, I thought my car had been stolen, which I was like, does that even happen? I guess it does, but, you know, my car is really old. It's like 2011 Mazda 6, so I really didn't know why anyone would want to take that car.

This is Kelly Prime. We work together at 99PI and she lives in Brooklyn.

And not too long ago, she had an experience that shook her.

She and her friends had been out for the day in Coney Island,

and they were stopping to get some takeout on the way home.

They were looking for a place to park, not too far from the restaurant.

And, you know, this is Brooklyn, so there's not a lot of parking available.

And all the street parking looked like it was filled up.

But on the right-hand side, we come upon this brightly lit, beautiful, empty parking lot in front of a 7-Eleven.

Perfect.

Like, irresistible, it sounds like.

Irresistible, an oasis, allure, some might say.

So we parked in the parking lot, pulled up, only car there.

What a miracle.

And just ran out into the supermarket and spent

probably like, you know, 15 minutes grabbing our stuff. They came back out, went to the 7-Eleven

parking lot, and the car wasn't there. Disappeared. The car was gone. And I was sort of in denial for a second. I was like, well,

surely. Like, I just, I'm not that great at remembering where I parked anyway, but it's not a big

lot and it's super brightly lit and there's no cars there. So she and her friends went into the 7-Eleven

to ask if anyone had seen anything. We go to the register and we're like,

I think our car just got stolen.

Did you see anyone steal a car?
