About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to IAA Vehicle Purchasing, he noticed something odd on the office door: ‘Today is your lucky day—ask for any car and get it for half price!’ The sign had appeared overnight, but there was no note from management. The delivery driver shrugged and went in. Half an hour later, he emerged driving a shiny red sports car, grinning like a kid. As he drove off, his neighbor waved and called out, ‘Hey, that’s my old clunker you’re taking!’

2. One day, an employee found an old, dusty steering wheel sitting in the loading bay of IAA Vehicle Purchasing. Curious, she picked it up and noticed something odd: the hubcap had a small note stuck inside. She opened it carefully, revealing a crumpled piece of paper with just one sentence scribbled on it: ‘Take good care of my baby.’ Turns out, it belonged to a delivery driver who’d left his lucky charm behind when he swapped cars that morning. Everyone got a good laugh over the mix-up.

3. One afternoon, while unloading boxes into IAA Vehicle Purchasing, a delivery driver spotted something odd on the warehouse floor—a tiny, rusted keychain with a miniature steering wheel attached. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old-fashioned logo stamped on the back—something familiar but long forgotten. Placing it in his pocket, he went back to work. Later that evening, while watching TV, he saw an ad for vintage cars. The same logo flashed across the screen, and before he knew it, he was calling his neighbor, who happened to be an avid collector. Turns out, the keychain belonged to a rare model from the 80s, worth more than he’d ever imagined.

4. One night, after hours, a delivery driver left IAA Vehicle Purchasing and noticed something odd on the parking lot: a strange box wrapped in old newspaper, half-hidden behind a dumpster. Curious, he approached it, only to discover an old radio inside playing some obscure jazz tune. Turns out, it was just an antique his neighbor had accidentally left there. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove home, muttering about how sometimes life throws you a mystery—just like that old song on the radio.
