Susan didn't respond, but I could practically feel her seething from across the street.Then came that fateful Sundayβ€”the day Susan completely lost it.It was a warm, quiet morning. I was outside again, applying one last polish to the Corvette's hood, when I saw her storming toward me. Her steps were brisk, her expression a mix of determination and something unhinged.A few neighbors were outside, too: walking dogs, watering lawns, grabbing their mail. And they all paused to watch the drama unfold.Susan stopped dead in front of me, planting herself between me and the car like a guard dog. Arms folded, voice raised."I've had enough of this charade," she declared, loud enough for everyone within fifty feet to hear. "That is my brother's Corvette. And I want the keys right now."Her voice cracked just enough to sound emotional. But it was the kind of performance you'd expect from a bad community theater audition.I blinked, stunned. "Susan, what are you talking about?" I said slowly. "I bought this car brand new three years ago.""Don't lie to me!" she shouted, her pitch climbing higher. "This is David's car. Same model, same color. He passed away last month and his car went missing right after. You stole it." Then she jabbed a finger toward the license plate frame. "He had that exact same one. You're not fooling anyone. You took it, and I'm going to prove it."By now, half the neighborhood had gathered nearby. Phones were up, cameras recording. The scene was straight out of a reality show.Keeping my voice calm, I said, "Susan, I'm really sorry for your loss, but this is my car. I have all the paperwork and the title inside the house. I can show you right now."I started to reach for my phone, intending to pull up my registration, but before I could even unlock the screen, she lunged. Susan actually lunged for my keys, grabbing at my hand like a desperate pickpocket."Give me those keys!" she shrieked. "That car belongs to my family!"
