Confessing A Criminal Theft

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
The only time
I was ever
(consciously)
in a stolen car,
it was taken 
from this driveway

 BUT 
the theft occurred 
(at least)
40 years before
this picture was taken
 
It was approximately midnight
when  the mastermind of the theft
decided to steal his 
Mother's car
 
His co-conspirators
included a future 
distinguished detective
of the Suffolk County
Police Department
 
+
a future blog-o-holic
 
The car was returned 
to this driveway
—unmarked— 
within an hour
 thus qualifying
the theft 
as a
JOY RIDE
 
I knew this house well
and was a welcome guest
repeatedly
throughout
the remainder of
the 20th Century
 
I "proved" 
some time ago
that the family that lived 
in this beachfront home
also owned the property
where Citifield
now exists
 
AND 
I MUST ACKNOWLEDGE
is presently as terrified of
"the mastermind"
as he was forty years ago
