Recovering a car

First of all my car is now back in my possession after many hoops (oh hell this qualifies as trials and tribulations). First you have to go to a building to pay to get your stolen goods back, before you pay the only information you get is whether or not they determine as drivable or not drivable, and whatever damage they think your car may have incurred (two windows out and a broken steering column in my case), so I paid my 75 bucks since it was "drivable" next you venture to the lot and wait to have an attendant escort you to the vehicle. The lot is football field sized graveyard, I think they put the worst cars up front to scare you. Only one person is allowed in so I sent my dad since he is more mechanically inclined, so like a contestant on bizarro "who wants to be a millionaire" I used my lifeline. It is after he comes back without the car we find out that whoever determined the car drivable doesn't know that cars need batteries. So we go to a store, get a battery, and wait in line some more, apparently that was all the damage they did to the engine, so we were on our way. At some point during the drive I decided to see what would happen if you rolled a broken window up, not surprising that nothing happens, although a miracle occurred one of the windows repaired itself and rolled up, well either a miracle or further proof that the person in charge of determining damage might indeed be a hamster. At any rate my car is back and will be fixed soon enough.
