“Maybe he has a second car that drives itself.
Or maybe he did not involve the Police because he has no need of an insurance claim.”
Most likely he had his cousins Vinnie and Pauly help him get his car back. Those two Wise Guys are always up for some hijinx.
One of the commenters at the Post article opined that the vehicle owner was himself a Percipient Fellow or otherwise Connected.
Yes, that is a very likely surmise.
He just went to “Joisey” to have some authentic Sicilian food and just picked up his car on the way.
Obviously had no need for the cops. He has his own.
Your theory hits all of the unexplainable aspects of this news story.
