Car Theft

Byron: Did you hear about what happened to Howard?

Vance: No, what?

Byron: Someone stole his car!

Vance: Really? When did it happen?

Byron: Last night. He left it parked in front of his girl friend’s house and when he came out to go home, it was gone.

Vance: Wow! That’s really tough. He just bought it last month, didn’t he?

Byron: Uh­huh. Fortunately, he’s got insurance and the police think they already have a good lead.

Vance: Well, I certainly wish him luck.
