Maybe the first time in history having a novelty license plate has actually been a benefit.

More specifically, maybe the first time in history having any public facing displays of being a Jets fan has actually been a benefit.

I bet it was a real estate agent trying to sell you on the Lake Bonnavista area. I hear it is objectively better than non-lake communities such as Skyview.

Well, it took about 3 days from the OP to Sliver finding the car, which is about how much time it takes to get from Skyview Ranch to Bonavista.

Reckon they dumped it when they found a better ride.


Also, well done Sliver!! To have the intestinal fortitude to drive around on your scooter looking for his car in this weather.

Umm, I was joking. It's a call back to a thread from quite some time ago where Sliver argued that a lake community was objectively better than non-lake communities.

Although I have to say, it would be pretty funny if I was serious and/or if a real estate agent really did something so bizarre to try and promote a certain neighborhood.

What did that call sound like?

"Hello, police? Yeah, I was surfing CalgaryPuck the other day and.... Yeah, Calgarypuck. It's this hockey messageboard about the Calgary Flames. Anyway, there's this Jets fan on there, and he... Yeah, a fan of the Winnipeg Jets... Yeah, he signed up before Winnipeg got a team back, and he still posts probably because he lives in Calgary. ANYWAY.... His car got stolen, and I just spotted it in Bonavista!! ... Resurrection.... Yeah. Well, he probably has a real name. Hold on, I'll PM him...."

Jerk, I was just going to PM him my selection of Mazda's I have in stock.

Thanks for nothing.

This isn't nearly as uncommon as you'd think. Quite often people will call in saying that they believe they've found lost or stolen items online. The conversation generally goes like this:

"Hello, non-emerg? Yeah. I go to [online place] and one of the people there posted that their car has been stolen. I think I've found it. The license plate is [plate] and it's on a [vehicle description]."

Having reported the car, if it does turn out to be stolen, the police would know who Resurrection is and tell him his car's been found, Sliver wouldn't need to know his real name.

This is also part of the reason why, when you report a stolen vehicle, you will generally be told to let all your friends and family know, that they can keep an eye out for it, and report it if they see it. A surprising number of cars are found that way.

Whaaaaaat??? This has got to be one of the craziest things ever.

Super awesome of you, Silver, and I'm glad you got your car back, Res! Amazing stuff! There sure are some good people in Calgary Now, if we could only send the guy who stole your car to Edmonton...... :P

Smart move, Sliver. When the heat turns up, park it a few blocks away and be the one to report it.

He stole a Mazda with a 'JETSFAN' license plate, thats sort of a lateral move at this point.
