Well, your teacher returned home to find that someone had stolen his trusty C15 delivery van, essential tool in the renovation of his dream home in the mountains. Never worry--e-culture has a solution for everything. A friend who knows the European car market told me about this one,
Autoscout24, where you can find cars, and especially second-hand utility vehicles like I need, from all over Europe, often at much better prices than around the corner. So I have found several good possibilites. Next step. Getting one here.
I was very disappointed at the level of administrative e-culture when I reported my stolen vehicle at the local gendarmerie. Apparently France is not quite there in terms of spotting these things on the highway. Only in movies, American movies at that, does a cop spot a stolen vehicle, check their onboard computer, and pull the culprit over. The local gendarme told me their computer only worked in one of their vehicles--some kind of connection problem. Alas!
