The Saga continues

I had to pay for the car using a cashiers check.

Every car dealer is ready to make a loan but go catatonic when you want to actually pay for the thing rather than go into hock for a bit.

So I get the check and head to the dealer.

Do the paper and all is good.

Then I turn in the rental.

"Oh, you have 2 more days."

"Well I bought a car and do not need the extra days."

Then they check and they owe me money. Back in the beginning I had put down $100 for the rental.

"The downtown branch will send a check."

"Wonderful"

So I go home

Downtown calls. "Where is our car"

"At the check in in Burlingame. You approved the dropoff."

"Thanks, Bye."

5 minutes. Phone rings.

"This is downtown. You owe us for five days rental."

"Burlingame says you owe me."

"No, our computer notes are always correct. So we will pay you $53."

I am stunned. Did I stumble through the rabbit hole?

"So you will pay me $53"

"Yes"

"But I should be getting $73" The delta is that the car came with a tank of gas that they deduct $26 and change for"

"No $53 is correct"

"OK send the check"

"No you owe us"

"I am calling claims and letting them work it out.

"Did you find your car?"

"No, we trust you."

As I look furtively around for the rabbit.

More later. Lets hope not
