Aaarrrgghhh.... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" /><img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" />  It was also loading and running really slowly, which was annoying enough with the resolution-change issue to kill it for me. Neverwinter Nights and Divine Divinity both like to rearrange my icons and DIABLO won't play unless I want to set up a virtual machine running Windows XP because DirectDraw is apparently no longer a thing... So I guess if I decide to load up a PC game sometime in the recent future it'll either be DIABLO II or Oblivion. So...You guys wanna hear some crazy $#!@? I got a no-delivery notice about a registered letter today, so I went down to the post office to pick it up.It was from a towing company - they were informing me that, as the last registered owner/lienholder on a 2009 Chevy Aveo, I have 15 days to come pay the towing and storage fees on it or they'll sell it... I can't recall whether or not I ever posted about it on here, but a couple of years ago that 2009 Chevy Aveo GOT STOLEN... Yes, folks, I've just found out that my stolen car has been recovered two years later, not from the police, but by a registered letter sent by a towing company... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" />Apparently, it was turned over to them by a property management company that runs an apartment complex  - TEN FRAKKING MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE...Oy.Anyhoo, I called them up to let them know about the car, and that I'd long ago turned in the title and gotten the insurance check for it, and they confirmed that the letter was just protocol - they're apparently required to notify the cops when they're called to pick up a vehicle by someone other than the owner so they knew it had been stolen. The lady seemed mildly surprised that the cops hadn't called me about it.I have no idea whether or not the police are going to bother looking into the theft any further, and there's no chance after all this time of me getting any of my stuff back, so... eh, whatever, I guess.</blockquote>
