I talked to San Diego PD again and verified that they hadn't towed it. I talked to the owner of the towing company that has the contract for the area
and he hadn't towed it, that it was probably stolen.
I asked him, "Why would anyone want a 25-year-old car?" He instantly replied, "This close to the border, Mexicans." (This man is Hispanic.)
I started laughing helplessly (it's been a long week), remembering when, years ago in our Orange County neighborhood, new cars started disappearing
off the street. Gossip had it that the police chief in Tijuana was ordering cars by make, model and color as gifts for his friends.

Glad hubby made it home. Sounds like it is time to look around for another car.
Does anybody have a good deal for GypsyJan in Rosarito? Maybe with a locater gizmo attached?

I’m in the hood close to the border. U2U me some parking lots and I’ll check it out for you.

My 19 year Chevy Astrovan was just stolen sometime during the night on Friday. When the officer called me with the case number, I told him that it
was probably in Mexico by now, and his reply was, "I hope not."

Time to have locator gizmos is right.
So sad that the car was most likely stolen.
My recommendation for buying used cars is to go to the Hertz used car lot in East County.
The prices are excellent and final - there is no haggling, the car engines are all given a once over and guaranteed to be in good shape and the
salesmen are really friendly. I bought 3 different vehicles from them, back in the day.

I bought one from Hertz. Would do it again.

Just went to the Hertz website. Looks like a great way to find a late model low mileage car. Thanks for the tip.
