James

James wept at the sight of his car.  For the last four years, he had scrimped and saved.  Every spare nickel and dime went into “the jar”, one less time out for dinner per week.  Four years of cutting every corner and now this.  It was with immense pleasure that he drove the 2014 Lexus off the dealer’s lot, fully paid.  And now, out on a celebratory dinner with his wife, James exited the restaurant to find that his car had left him.  An hour later, James and the police stood together, gazing upon what remained of his car, now almost impossibly wed to a telephone pole.
