Many years ago 

I owned an RS2000

A very sporty Ford Escort

Highly modified and fast

I loved that car

Spending hours tuning it

Always kept it clean

It was bright yellow

It was my daily driver

I took it to work

Parked in the same spot

Close to the office door

One day after work

I stepped outside

My car was not there

It had been stolen

It was locked

A few feet from my office window

In broad daylight

Nobody saw it taken

I filed a police report

When I told them the make

The officer just sighed

Its probably dismantled now

Being sold in parts

For a standard Ford

With serial numbers erased

No way to ever trace it

I bought a shiny replacement

I never enjoyed owning it

Paranoid about it being stolen

 I exchanged it for a Volvo
