At a guess, you are Woody Allen, and the car is a VW Beetle?

The sad news is that it is a VW Golf and not a VW Beetle. The new
warehouse owner says I can have the Golf.


If he puts that in writing, then that would be good enough for me.

As another poster has intimated. A common ploy is to say to their
insurance company their car has been stolen, but in reality store it
away for a few years.

I'm not sure if an HPI check would provide any help in this instance.
