15/03 - Received a call to say that the cellphone record I sent on the 5th Feb is not valid so I need to fill a certain form and sign it under the Commissioner of Oaths. This is a consent that Prime Meridian can request the information they want from my cellphone service provider.
Day 50: No car, no outcome.
Biggest questions: 1. Why do we buy insurance? 2. How many more months should I wait for the outcome?
This is all besides that my car was moved from Durban to Johannesburg.
