Woke up early to pack for my move back to Michigan. Jim Morse came to help with the move. We waited all day for the U-haul. They were supposed to call last night with a confirmation time. They kept saying they had no trucks. I told them I had made a reservation over a month ago and put an $80 security deposit down. So, we packed up what we could in Jim's car. Then, we dropped off my apartment keys and went to the bagel shop. When we got home, I called the customer service and was put on hold for 45 minutes. At this point, I was getting very pissed off. I asked if I could get a truck at a different location and called some other places in Chicago and the suburbs, but nothing was available.
Jim had parked his car in the alley behind my apartment while we packed. When he went down to check on it, it was gone. I just couldn't believe this was happening to us. I started to cry as I had no idea how I was going to get all of my stuff moved home, not to mention, we had to find where Jim's car had disappeared to.
We called the police department to find out where the car could be. She asked several questions as to whether the car payments had been made, vehicle ID#, etc. She checked with Central Towing, but they hadn't found it.
So, we walked outside to a flower shop around the corner. A nice Asian man tried to help us find a sign with the name of the towing company. We found the name and took a cab down to Clark and Montrose streets.
The guy behind the bars at the tow company was mean looking. The guy in front of us was yelling at him and saying he better not have damaged his car. It cost us $105 to get it out. We decided to drive back to Michigan with what we had packed in his car.
Jim stayed at our house on Lawnel, so we could leave early Sunday morning to get a U-haul here in Michigan and drive it back to Chicago.
