I think someone stole my blinker.

I didn't hit anything, and it's just gone.
My husband said it couldn't just "fall off," as I suggested, so I think someone stole it.
Who steals a blinker from a fifteen-year-old minivan?!

As if the van wasn't decrepit enough already.

2. The turn signal light.

Not the bulb- the whole unit-thing. It's just missing.

3. Go around corners fast?

Perhaps centripetal force flung it off the van as you careened around a corner at 80 miles an hour.
Don't go looking for it. It probably hit and killed someone and they're looking for you right now!

6. It is guaranteed that this did not happen!

My steering is all hosed up, so I CAN'T go around corners fast, as fun as that sounds...
omg, do I need to get rid of my van.

8. It could have fallen off, y'know.

Not much holding vehicles together these days.
That blinker goes in as a unit, and might be held
with a single screw (or even just plastic clips).

Given the THOUSANDS of screws, nuts and bolts I see
along the streets and highways, it's amazing to me
that I've never yet seen a vehicle just disintegrate
as it rolls along.

9. Mr LaraMN claims it COULDN'T have.

It was screwed in, plugged in, and I don't know what else.
I really wonder if it didn't though. It's a really old minivan and yeah, stuff falls apart, eventually.
