More on Christine

I have posted a story on my haunted car, Christine. My husband read it and just shook his head. He has even ordered a new locking system for the door.  He claims this will solve the problems and I will stop saying my car is haunted. I'm not so sure.
Example. I drove Christine on Monday. All was normal, no sudden unexplained locking, no alarms going off. Came home and parked . The next morning I went out and got in the car to go to karate and............The rear view mirror was now turned toward the house and a pair of gloves were now on the passenger seat! I would have thought that my son or husband was playing a trick on me, but there were no footprints in the snow by my car except the ones I made getting out the night before.
Next. I always put my keys in an exterior pocket of my purse. I am compulsive about it because I only have one ignition key and haven't had the time or money to go to Volkswagen to get another set. I have never put the key any other place except in a pocket if I am not carrying my purse. I always put the keys in the outside pocket of my purse before I get out of the car so I won't drop them. Wednesday I went out and got in the car to go to choir practice. Opened the zippered pocket and went for my keys. They weren't there. Panicked, I dumped my purse out. Nothing. I went in the house and checked the pockets of the jacket I had worn last and through the pockets of the jeans from the day before. I went back out to the car and checked the floor and under the seats. I tried to think about the previous day. Had I done something different? I remembered that I had decided to check the mail before I went in the house. I remembered leaving my purse on the seat, with the door open so it couldn't accidentally lock me out when I went down the driveway to the mailbox. Just scooped up my purse and coffee cup when I came back and shut the door and went to the house.
Eventually I found the keys. I had again dumped my purse out and was shaking it when I noticed a tiny bulge in an interior zippered pocket. Opened that and found my keys. Ok, I can hear you thinking I must have put them in the wrong pocket, except I don't use that pocket because it is really hard to unzip. The purse lining is not attached inside well and it is really hard to unzip that pocket. I have to set the purse down and hold and pull on the fabric to get the zipper to move at all. I couldn't have done that accidentally. It takes effort to do. I never use that pocket but,.........my purse was alone in Christine when I went to the mail box.
Have to leave for karate now. I'm a little afraid of what I  might find.
I am beginning to believe my own story about a "haunted " car. Yikes!
