Especially if you submit your application with some sob story about how the car got ransaked. The fact that she is a Chinese student might help too.</p> Dan,

Then he came back to the dorm to watch whatever we were watching on TV and take a duffle bag.

He then left.

About 20 minutes later he was back. The car had been stolen.

He was carrying his laundry baskets. They stole his car, but left his dirty laundry behind in the parking space.

Most of us were too busy LOL to provide condolences on the car.

The officer noted that the stereo wasn't taken. As it is a cassette system that doesn't work, the thief wouldn't have wanted it :-)<br /> <br /> Purpleslog - hehe.
