Though not a wagon, like this Saturn, my Dodge truck is a '95 and I do see people eyeing it constantly. I think the huge areas of rust cause an unusual glint from the sun which immediately attracts attention. Once they see the beauty I can only assume that they feel like they "must" possess it. When I'm not gracing the neighborhood with my broken exhaust sounds, I keep it locked up, behind a locked fence. Three dogs patrol around it constantly. Judging by their incessant barking throughout the day, I'm guessing that people are casing the truck constantly.
Sometimes as I'm falling asleep at night, I suddenly get jolted awake. It dawns on me... did I lock the truck up? Did I lock the gate up? Why aren't the dogs barking? I scramble for my flashlight and keys and check on the truck... whew. Everything locked up, dogs sleeping, all is good. I wonder why I keep having this sensation of getting jolted awake and worried about the truck. Then I remember before I was 16 and couldn't drive, I used to have dreams that I was falling, and that would jolt me awake. Is there a correlation between dreams about falling that wake you up, and the English phrase "falling asleep"? I don't know. What I do know is that I can't hear my dogs barking, so I have to go check on something... but before I do, let me quickly type off my condolences. I hope the scumbags who are violating the Saturn wagon get the punishment they deserve. a '95 is barely 18 years old. It should be protected and feeling safe, not being ridden all over town doing God knows what.
