Facebook breakthrough

I was looking for stainless steel drums because I promised my brother in law that I will help him find one for one of his project at work, but then I was distracted by the buzz of my best friend in yahoo messenger.

His car has been missing since January 2010. He reported this to the police and to his insurance provider but it has been almost six months already and there is still no news on the whereabouts of his car. And so he was surprised when he saw in Facebook a picture of his car (he was able to verify based on the conduction sticker of the car in the picture) being driven by a certain guy who lives somewhere south.

He was able to trace the address of the driver of the car and the next day, he went to the area where the guy lives and he was surprised to see his car parked in a fast food chain. He waited for the driver to come out and when the driver is already approaching his car, he confronted him.

After exchange of words and confrontations (to the delight of the bystanders watching them), they ended in a police station. It turns out that the guy who took his car was a friend of his friend. The guy was denying that he carnapped the car and he was claiming now that the friend of my best friend lend him the car which he has been using for six months now.

The car is still with the police authorities until further investigation but the guy who took the car is already in jail. Thank goodness for facebook, because if not, my friend won’t be able to recover his car.
