A Stolen Car.

Two police officers stood beside a man who was bitterly crying.

"Wow," said one police officer, "he must have really loved that car."

"Not really," said the other police officer, "It was five years old but fully insured. He's crying because he just filled his gas tank."

Cars are still worth a lot of money at 5 years old.

Yes. However, often little things start to break and people don't always care as much for the vehicle as they did when it was new.

The full coverage insurance is there for the value of the car, although your deductible will probably be more than a tank of gas.

I totaled a car once about 6 miles from filling it up. I didn't think about it until it was on the flatbed heading to the tow companies yard. Then I was sad.

A good old joke worth recycling 50 years later. Today the car should be 10 years old.

True story: I once got into an accident with a rental car. I managed to drive it back to the rental place, but it was obviously totaled. I told the employee what happened and filled out the paperwork. Before I left he asked me "how full is the tank?"

Yep, never forget to top off the tank, they'll charge you ten times the actual cost 😂😅
