It was a sad day for one city resident, when she woke up Tuesday morning and discovered that her 2005 Audi 4-door sedan had been stolen. Her day got worse when Police told her that they'd found her car... charred beyond recognition against a utility pole off of Middle Grove Road.

The crash, which destroyed the stolen vehicle, also knocked out power for about 80 National Grid customers.

So now, it's been about 36 hours since the car was reported missing, and police still have no idea who stole it.

The Sheriff's office said that the City police are investigating the theft. The city police at first said that the Sheriff's department are investigating the crash, and are now saying that there's no point in investigating, as the fire destroyed any evidence.

It seems that police from two departments are playing hot potato with this case, and no one wants to get stuck when the music stops.

Meanwhile, there are some dumb teenagers at large right now, thinking they're the luckiest joy riders who ever lived... and they might just be right. Either that, or someone is playing a high-risk game of insurance fraud. I suppose we'll just have to keep pestering the police -- from both departments -- for more answers on whole stole the Audi.

In other news, don't forget to attend Mayor Johnson's sate of the city address, this Sunday at noon in the City Center. I'll be there attempting to make my first web video.

Finally, I wanted to publicly thank everyone who took the time to write me with advice after yesterday's post. In all honesty, I expected to get flamed in the comments. I really do appreciate that there are so many people in this city who are willing to offer me what they know, so that I can better serve the community. Thanks again. Have a great weekend, I'll see you Sunday.
