swipe #2
３３年前に盗難にあったクルマが見つかったというお話。swipeは「強くふる，打つ」などでおなじみですが，Umeちゃんが以前紹介していたように，口語では「盗む」という意味もあります（be swipedという形が多い）。日本語の「かっぱらう（られる）」という感覚に近い単語です。なおabc. newsのサイトには被害者のTalleyさんの映像があります。（UG）
Detroit Man To Reunite With Corvette Stolen 33 Years Ago
George Talley was 38 when his Corvette was stolen from a Detroit street. Police recently called Talley, now 71, to tell him they found his car.
The car was found in Mississippi 33 years after it was swiped.
Lt. Brian Richardson at Mississippi Highway Patrol told ABC News they had custody of the vehicle.
“It is in pretty good condition,” Richardson said.
General Motors, which made the car in 1979, offered today to deliver the car to Talley at the company's expense.
"Our VP, Mark Reuss, thought that a car lover should be reunited with his car," a GM spokesperson told ABC News. "After he learned the news, he just felt compelled to reach out to him [George Talley]."
