My kid called after lunch, said Volvo broke down...  After work,  I picked him up at another
Friends house.   We drive to Volvo.   Volvo gone.  Son of a..., .   I learn it broke down last night cause they left the interior lights on and radio.  They tried jumper cables but had  cables reversed.   Big sparks scared them and they left it.  I'm worried and getting a little cheese'ed off.


 Its about 5:10 Friday.. off we go to nearest wrecker.  No car,  they call another wrecker and find it.   We get car.   The wrecker guy wiggles battery post cable.  It's loose.  Volvo starts , its fixed.  Maybe solar panel  on roof had charged up battery.   hooray!.   I pay 125 bucks cause kid left back of car hanging out in road.   sc
