SO, now the wild story:
~2:30pm on Oct 4th 2024, almost exactly 7.5 years since I sold my old beater, I sent a pic to my parents of my old Focus wagon because I was on the owners street making a delivery. I took the pic because the window has been open a while (at least a couple weeks). I was tempted to stop over and offer them cash for it again.
Around 4pm I was about 1/4 mile away on a 10min break at a gas station and I came out of a gas station and saw it on a rollback in the parking lot. I went over to tow truck and talked to the driver/passenger and they had just got it to go scrap it.
Of course I laughed and said I was the previous owner asked how much and if they’d deliver it… $650 later including delivery to my house 30 min away, it’s mine again. 5:30pm my brother sent a pic of it delivered to the house. He already got it running twisting the wires together and putting a jump pack on lol. Cleaning out the inside he even found the note that I left a few years ago offering to buy it back with my number. LOL
They only put 19,000 miles on it in 7.5 years, it had failed inspection for brakes and a blown strut and “quote was close to value of the car”.
The story then is a homeless guy broke into the car and popped the hood and cut the battery cables and strap and stole the battery.
