“Hey dad … uh, so, Alex and I left the car keys in the car while we were skiing today, and, we went back to the parking garage, annnddddd the car … wasn’t there. I’m not sure if it was moved or stolen or what, but I guess I’m going to call the police right now and see what they say. So, uh.. call me back?”
