Four years ago I bought my Toyota Corolla. It was a sexy little black car, so I thought it could use some nice rims . . . unfortunately I couldn’t afford nice rims, so I bought a cheep $20 set of wheel-covers.

Two weeks later we had a huge hail storm which dented my car, ruining the paint, and poked holes through my new wheel covers.

Sorry about the grainy picture. I had to blow up a picture of my car so you could see one of the cracks in the wheel cover. There are several other cracks, but the image quality is too bad to see them.

(By the way, this isn’t my first case of bad luck with wheel covers. On a previous car, I went to Sears to buy new tires. The mechanics broke one of my wheel covers, then tried to hide it by putting it on my rear-passenger-side tire. I guess they were hoping I wouldn’t walk around my car and look at my new tires. Bums.)

Back to my story . . .

Monday, after taking a final, I got back to my car and noticed my wheel covers were missing.

I was too irritated to laugh, and too amused to be angry.

Who steals cheap broken wheel covers? Should I call the police? Should I call my possy? Is Wal-mart trying to scare me off?

I can’t rest until I know, so I’m offering a reward for my missing wheel covers. If any of you can return my original wheel covers, I’ll give you . . . hummmm . . . $100 (I’m not joking).
