I did a few times but that was after a few lines and too much Jaggermister. This boy takes the cake but can't eat it.
The morning after Sunday’s Metallica concert, Gavin Strickland called his parents with a horrible confession: after driving across the Canadian border from Syracuse in the name of heavy metal, he’d lost the car.
This weekend, after a day spent in Oshawa, Gavin parked his blue-green Nissan Versa Sedan somewhere on the first floor of an indoor parking garage. The garage was within an $8-cab-ride of the Rogers Centre.
He just doesn’t know where.
Now, three days later, his parents have enlisted the amateur scavenger-hunters of Toronto to help remedy the directional snafu of their “doofy son.”
“Can’t make this up,” a Tuesday evening Craiglist posting by Eric and Michele Strickland, who reside in the U.S., reads. An $100 reward has been offered for anyone who’ll scour Toronto’s parking garages for the wayward vehicle.
Ambiguous landmarks Gavin remembers nearby include a Starbucks, some construction, a “strange spiral outdoor sculpture,” and, possibly, a bank, which may or may not be RBC.
The car, itself, has Florida license plates, a small Canadian flag attached to the doorframe, and a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker.
Gavin’s father Eric says he bought the car for his son last year, to get to work and community college in the fall.
