As I left the store, I reached into my pocket for my keys\u2014nothing. A wave of panic hit me. Had I really left them in the car? My husband had warned me countless times about this, always worried that one day the car would get stolen.<\/p>\n
I rushed to the parking lot, and my heart sank. The space where I had parked was completely empty. The car was gone!
\nFrantic, I grabbed my phone and called the police. I gave them my location and explained, voice trembling, \u201cMy car has been stolen! I left the keys inside!\u201d<\/p>\n
But the hardest call was yet to come. Taking a deep breath, I dialed my husband. \u201cI, uh\u2026 I left the keys in the car\u2026 and it\u2019s been stolen.\u201d
\nThere was a long silence. So long that I thought the call had dropped\u2014until I heard him snap, \u201cAre you kidding me? I dropped you off!\u201d<\/p>\n
My stomach sank. Oh. Right.
\nNow it was my turn to go silent. Feeling like an idiot, I mumbled, \u201cWell\u2026 come get me.\u201d
\nHis response? \u201cI will. Just as soon as I convince this cop that I didn\u2019t steal your damn car!\u201d<\/p>\n
