Stolen Wine Rocket
Donation protected
Sometime between 18:30 on Thursday, February 13th, and 11:30 on Friday, February 14th, my car was stolen from Rua da Esperança 40/42 in the Santos neighborhood of Lisbon. It was legally parked with a resident parking permit, locked, and nothing inside to entice anyone to break in. I had just purchased the car THREE DAYS BEFORE IT WAS STOLEN. I was on my way to meet my broker to get insurance for the car. Needless to say, the car was not insured prior to it being stolen.
After walking the street to check for the car and any broken glass on the ground, I didn't find anything. I texted 3838 with my license plate, but the car had not been towed. A friend also took me to the tow lot in Sete Rios to ask about the car, but it had not been brought in. So I filed an official report with the police to mark the car as stolen. I was told that while this is very uncommon, it's not unheard of, but that the likelihood that I would ever get my car back is almost zero.
It took me ages to save up the 2.000€ to be able to afford that car and while it wasn't anything fancy, I can't express how happy I was and how free I felt when I drove it home for the first time. Not to mention I really need it for work to be able to make my wine deliveries.
A unexpected amount of people have offered to donate to a replacement fund, so I'm asking for your help. Any donation will help me raise the money back to be able to buy another car.
Thank you in advance for your support!
