About a year ago my daughter's Ex boyfriend had his Honda Metropolitan stolen in Austin, Texas.

He had only owned it for a little more than a month. Unfortunately he procrastinated on getting it insured, and after it was stolen, in order to keep his credit in good standing, he painfully continued paying the note. He just finished paying it off.

Yesterday he got a phone call from the police. They had found his scooter!
Miraculously the scooter looked unmolested, it was as clean and unscathed as the day it disappeared. It did have an additional one thousand miles or so on it.

He's getting it insured today.

The End.

How long has he been split up from your daughter?

Maybe his scoot isn't the only thing he'll get back a year later

Seriously, this is one lucky man. Get him to buy you a lottery ticket.

I'm pretty sure he'll have to settle for the scooter.

That's good karma for doing the right thing and paying it off.

I'd still try to get him to buy you a lottery ticket, or canvas his views for the sports betting this weekend. For old times' sake, and all that Laughing emoticon

I agree with Linedog. The ex boyfriend had good karma for paying it off and a lesson in insuring what you love!

I'm willing to be it hasn't been serviced. I'll have to pass on that suggestion.
