Has Anyone Seen My H?

Has anyone seen my H?

Bad things that have happened to my car:

1. 1996 (or 1997, maybe): bumped into by idiot SUV driver on a cell phone in parking lot. Broken front light ensues. Early digital-camera-adopting friends Jason and Scott photograph damage immediately. Eric watches me confront idiot SUV driver worriedly, afraid I will commit some act of violence. Insurance to the rescue.

2. 1999: sideswiped by hit and run driver in front of our old apartment on Damen. Dented back wheel well and strange grinding noise during driving enuse. Trip to body shop follows, followed by trip home and more grinding noise. Irate call to body shop follows. Return again to none-too-gracious body shop. Eventually, all is well.

True story: a well-meaning and apparently English-illiterate witness leaves a note on my car about said accident, including an incomplete license plate number. I file a complaint with the police, who fill out a form and toss it on a pile of other complaints, where it probably is to this day. During a follow-up call, police officer tells me they would only be able to research suspect number if I had been killed. I'm out of luck!

2002: Honda emblem on trunk goes missing, leaving two gaping holes and some dried-up glue. Did it just decide it was time to go? Was it stolen? No one knows. Maybe it's with Mike's hat.

Eric saves the day. A new emblem is on its way, supposedly.

is the H the one n my new hat?

Ya know, I've noticed Honda emblems are being stolen here in Seattle, too. Is there a secret meaning?

I had my honda emblem stolen twice of my trunk, and decided that maybe they are stealing them to sell them back to us on ebay. Or maybe they make a good belt buckle?

I think Anthony R bought my stolen emblems on ebay.
