VW wouldn't locate kidnapped child because his mother didn't pay for find-my-car subscription

The masked car-thieves who stole a Volkswagen SUV in Lake County, IL didn’t know that there was a two-year-old child in the back seat — but that’s no excuse. A violent car-theft has the potential to hurt or kill people, after all.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/28/kinderwagen/#worst-timeline

Likewise, the VW execs who decided to nonconsensually track the location of every driver and sell that data to shady brokers — but to deny car owners access to that data unless they paid for a “find my car” subscription — didn’t foresee that their cheap, bumbling subcontractors would refuse the local sheriff’s pleas to locate the car with the kidnapped toddler.

And yet, here we are. Like most (all?) major car makers, Volkswagen has filled its vehicles with surveillance gear, and has a hot side-hustle as a funnel for the data-brokerage industry.

After the masked man jumped out of a stolen BMW and leapt into the VW SUV to steal it, the child’s mother — who had been occupied bringing her other child inside her home — tried to save her two year old, who was still in the back seat. The thief “battered” her and drove off. She called 911.

The local sheriff called Volkswagen and begged them to track the car. VW refused, citing the fact that the mother had not paid for the $150 find-my-car subscription after the free trial period expired. Eventually, VW relented and called back with the location data — but not until after the stolen car had been found and the child had been retrieved.

Now that this idiotic story is in the news, VW is appropriately contrite. An anonymous company spokesman blamed the incident on “a serious breach” of company policy and threw their subcontractor under the (micro)bus, blaming it on them.

This is truly the worst of all worlds: Volkswagen is a company that has internal capacity to build innovative IT systems. Once upon a time, they had the in-house tech talent to build the “cheat device” behind Dieselgate, the means by which they turned millions of diesel vehicles into rolling gas-chambers, emitting lethal quantities of NOX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal

But on the other hand, VW doesn’t have the internal capacity to operate Car-Net, it’s unimaginatively-named, $150/year location surveillance system. That gets subbed out to a contractor who can’t be relied on to locate a literal kidnapped child.

The IT adventures that car companies get up to give farce a bad name. Ferraris have “anti-tampering” kill-switches that immobilize cars if they suspect a third-party mechanic is working on them. When one of these tripped during a child-seat installation in an underground parking garage, the $500k car locked its transmission and refused to unlock it — and the car was so far underground that its cellular modem couldn’t receive the unlock code, permanently stranding it:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/15/expect-the-unexpected/#drm

BMW, meanwhile, is eagerly building out “innovations” like subscription steering-wheel heaters:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/02/big-river/#beemers

Big Car has loaded our rides up with so much surveillance gear that they were able to run scare ads opposing Massachusetts’s Right to Repair ballot initiative, warning Bay Staters that if third parties could access the data in their cars, it would lead to their literal murders:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/03/rip-david-graeber/#rolling-surveillance-platforms

In short: the automotive sector has filled our cars with surveillance gear, but that data is only reliably available to commercial data-brokers and hackers who breach Big Cars’ massive data repositories. Big Car has the IT capacity to fill our cars with cheat devices — but not the capacity to operate an efficient surveillance system to use in real emergencies. Big Car says that giving you control over your car will result in your murder — but when a child’s life is on the line, they can’t give you access to your own car’s location.

This Thu (Mar 2) I’ll be in Brussels for Antitrust, Regulation and the Political Economy, along with a who’s-who of European and US trustbusters. It’s livestreamed, and both in-person and virtual attendance are free. On Fri (Mar 3), I’ll be in Graz for the Elevate Festival.

il museo del sesso

Fandom: Ghost (The Band)

Pairing: Papa Emeritus III x GN!Reader

Genre: Romance - Fluff - Humour

Word Count: 1035

Summary: Reader has had a long day, and Terzo has Secondo's latest newsletter from his travels.

A/N: This is my first ever Ghost fic to see the light of day, and the first fic I've published in over a year. I'm scared, but I figured I'd unleash it into the wilderness! Some Italian terms of endearment are in the feminine, but the actual reader description is gender-neutral. Yes, bad Italian translations are featured - my ancestors are cursing me as I type. Enjoy!

----

It had been a long day. Sister Imperator had run you ragged preparing for Terzo’s next assignment, though he would no longer perform the duties bestowed upon him as the anti-pope, being retired meant having other expectations placed upon him instead. You were to accompany him as an international dignitary of sorts, meeting with other congregations within the Ministry’s broader network, building an empire required going beyond Italy, Sweden or Los Angeles… And, after all, Terzo was a popular Papa, no matter how the dismissal from the higher clergy may have looked. Just as Secondo was out there performing ambassadorial duties when he wasn’t in his vineyards, so too would Terzo begin a new chapter. 

But that was later. Now? Now you just needed to lie down.

-

Terzo was already on the bed when you entered your shared living quarters, and he was reading the latest instalment of Secondo’s monthly newsletter - an unusually personal and rather entertaining mailer only the Emeritus brothers were privy to.

To Terzo's great joy, it included a gossip column, specifically for his benefit he was sure, as well as an arts and culture spot. For Primo, there was a horticultural section full of plants and landscapes from wherever Secondo had been, and for Copia, there was a section on animals and literature.

The sound of your arrival has Terzo looking up with a pleased smile, his eyes are bright as he pats the space beside him, his raven hair falling loosely around his forehead. He puts Secondo’s digitally crafted newsletter down, letting the tablet rest on his thighs for a moment.

You waste no time taking him up on the offer, he looked utterly dashing in his glasses, his shirt unbuttoned enough to enjoy a peek of his chest. You loved Terzo in many ways, but seeing him relaxed and enjoying something away from clergy matters was high on your list.

Scooting next to him, you’re mindful of the device. Positioning your head on his torso, your arms locked around his midsection, the instant sensation of his warmth and the weight of his hand on your back has you exhaling with relief.

“Ciao, piccola ucella.” He greets softly, fingers grazing the back of your neck, slowly caressing as he begins to thread his fingers in your hair.

“Ciao, amore.” You hum, eyes closing for a moment, your muscles relaxing with each passing moment. 

“Busy day, hm?” He asks with a smile, knowing full well that you would have been giving Imperator a run for her money.

“Si, very busy.” You answer half-heartedly, already well on your way to dozing on him.

You feel the soft rumble of his laughter against your ear, “It seems you’ve already decided on how to remedy this exhaustion, no?” Giving you a gentle squeeze. “Oh absolutely, you’re my favourite cuscino.” You purr, grip tightening as you shiver, trying to draw extra warmth from his body.

He wordlessly puts the tablet on the bedside table and tugs at the blanket draped over the headboard, bringing it down over both of you, making sure you are suitably covered.

“You know, I find it very sweet when you use some of your Italian, tesoro.” He praises, his thumb brushing over the shell of your ear. 

His gaze never leaves you, concern and adoration blending into one, though the conversation had been playful, he could see that you were not only physically fried but mentally too.

“Sorry, honey, I’ve interrupted your Secondo monthly.” You mumble, sighing, you wanted to talk to Terzo and enjoy doing something with him, but now your work mode had been switched off everything else was catching up to you.

“Bah, if I cannot cuddle with mia amata, and make sure they are well, then what good is this love we share, hm? It is okay to not always be, switched on, alright? You tell me this quite often, do you not?”

You really cannot argue with him, especially when he speaks to you in that hushed way that few people, if any, ever get to experience.

“I do.” You concede, lifting your head to look at him, your face full of gratitude, your hand cups his cheek, fingertips tracing those lines that make him so handsome to you, watching with a sweet ache in your chest as he closes his eyes and enjoys the sensation.

When he meets your gaze again his lips upturn into a mischievous smile, “Shall I read to you this last section that mio fratello wrote?”

Your expression matches his in excitement, nodding as you immediately plant your head back on his chest, ready to listen to every word.

“Molto bene, prezioso.” He hums, keeping one arm wrapped around you, the other scooping up the tablet and flicking back to the page he had been reading. He clears his throat for dramatic effect, adjusting the glasses on his nose.

Terzo begins, “The weather in Amsterdam was a drizzle, overcast, not too terrible by any means, if a bit glum for such an intriguing visit. Naturalmente, I was invited to il museo del sesso…”

“The sex museum?” You snort, laughter shaking softly through you, positive you understood him correctly.

“Si, si…” Terzo says with a wry smile, continuing. “I was invited to il museo del sesso, and wouldn’t you know it? In the modern and contemporary gallery, they had painted the most squisito portrait of me. Specifically, my “Anno Zero” momento, quite the homage to the Emeritus physique…certainly, they picked the right brother to fully display our prowess, eh, cari fratelli? Needless to say, it was an enjoyable visit.”

Now you’re giggling uncontrollably, whether it was because there was a naked painting of Secondo in Amsterdam’s sex museum, or whether it was because Secondo seemed exceptionally pleased with this fact, you weren’t sure.

“That has to be one of the best instalments yet.” You muse, giggles still bubbling in your tummy.

Terzo relishes the laughter he pulls from you, thankful for his brother’s colourful display of vanity for helping you get rid of some of the day's tension. He laughs too, leaning down to kiss the top of your head, squeezing you gently. 

“Yes, my love, I’d say it was too.”

Fin.

Welcome to the 29th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 115 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 11, “L’enveloppe magique” (“The Magic Envelope”), and Part I of Chapter 12, “Il faut oublier le nom de « la voix d'homme »” (“You Must Forget the Name of ‘the Man’s Voice’”).

This section was first printed on Friday, 5 November, 1909.

Gaston Leroux cut “The Magic Envelope” from his novel when he prepared the First Edition for publication.

In January of 2014, I published my translation of this chapter. Mine was the first English translation of this chapter to be published.

You can read my translation of “The Magic Envelope” on my blog here.

The text of “The Magic Envelope” starts at “'And why, if you please, Monsieur Gabriel,' asked Moncharmin, 'do you not want us to inform the Commissary of Police?',” and goes to the end of the chapter, “'This cost us more than if Robert-Houdin himself had done the trick!'.”

TRANSLATION:

“And why, if you please, Monsieur Gabriel,” asked Moncharmin, “do you not want us to inform the Commissary of Police? This is a very blatant attempt at extortion, and in spite of ourselves, we now have visible proof here in our office; we might come to suspect the most honest employees of our administration, and find an accomplice in an innocent man!”

“No, no!” repeated Gabriel. “Not the Commissary of Police!”

“And why not?”

“Because: what if it is a real Phantom!”

Moncharmin made the mistake of smiling.

Gabriel planted himself in front of Moncharmin.

“Well! And then what?… What if it was a real Phantom!… There would be no outsmarting him, you know!… I saw him once, your Phantom!… Please believe me that his face is no laughing matter!”

“And what did you do when you saw him?”

“I ran for my life!”

“Well!”

“I ran away so quickly that I tumbled down an entire flight of stairs on my back… But really, I admit, you understand, I admit that it may be a false Phantom!… Well then, especially in this case, we mustn’t say anything, not to the Commissary of Police, not to anyone!”

“Why?” Moncharmin asked again, shrugging his shoulders.

“Because we would be ridiculed!”

“Gabriel is right! We would be ridiculed!” insisted Richard.

“So long as that is your opinion, I have nothing more to say,” said Moncharmin.

“This is a matter that we must resolve amongst ourselves! If it is a false Phantom, and has stolen 20,000 francs from us, we would be a laughing stock!”

“What do you think, Mercier?”

“I think like Gabriel, that we must put the 20,000 francs in the envelope. A real Phantom has no use for 20,000 francs. If the 20,000 francs are stolen, we will know that we are dealing with a false Phantom. At least, we will have more information than we do now.”

“Yes, but that will cost us 20,000 francs!” remarked Moncharmin.

“There are four of us!…” exclaimed Richard… “Four of us to keep watch over the envelope and that imbecile, Mother Giry!… I’ll wager that he won’t even touch the envelope! And if he does touch it, well, there are still four of us!…”

They arranged to meet two days later in Richard’s office, one half hour before the performance.

Richard was the first to arrive, and the first thing he saw on his desk was an envelope that was the same as the one they had found the last time, addressed to “P. of the O. — private.” This discovery in no way calmed his nerves.

Richard paced the room with the air of a lion in a cage. He swore, he stormed. He suspected everyone. He received his secretary, Rémy, who had arrived in the meantime, with such cryptically irate words, and with such incomprehensible threats against some burglar or other, that for a moment, next to this young man whose mind was well-organized and whose manners were proper, he seemed to have gone mad! Finally, Gabriel, Mercier, and Moncharmin also arrived. Richard closed the door behind them, and made sure the lock was secure. He showed them the envelope, and did not conceal the fact that he was still unaware of the means by which it had arrived in his office. And then he pulled from his pocketbook twenty banknotes of one thousand francs each — the real, authentic banknotes this time — and he placed them inside the envelope. He closed it and handed it to Moncharmin, saying:

“You are going to carry this envelope yourself to Mother Giry. You shall not give it to her until you are on the threshold of the box. Do not take your eyes off her until the moment when she enters the box. When she is inside, we three shall keep watch on her; I shall make sure of it.”

Moncharmin left with the envelope. Richard, Gabriel, and Mercier placed themselves throughout the auditorium in such a way that the envelope was, if possible, even more carefully observed the second time than it was the first. During that evening’s production, there were eight eyes fixed on the envelope. Those eight eyes saw nothing, nothing but the envelope!

After the performance, the envelope was still there where Mme Giry had placed it, on the little shelf by the armrest. When the four men had gathered around the envelope, Richard picked it up, showed that it was unopened, and said:

“Truly, our man must find another system if he wishes to come in possession of our twenty thousand francs.”

And he opened it.

He counted the banknotes. They were all there.

“The magic show is over!” he declared.

Suddenly, Moncharmin turned pale, and he said:

“Show me that…”

And he took the banknotes from Richard and glanced at them briefly:

“But these are notes of the Bank of Saint Farce!” he roared. “He has taken the good notes and replaced them with bad ones!…”

It was true:

Richard collapsed in a chair.

“This is not over,” declared Moncharmin under his breath…

All four men looked at each other in dismay.

Richard growled:

“This cost us more than if Robert-Houdin[9] himself had done the trick!”

NOTES:

[9] Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin was a 19th century French magician and conjurer. He was an inspiration for the Jewish illusionist Erik Weisz, who changed his name to Harry Houdini in honor of Robert-Houdin.

CHAPTER 12 of the Gaulois / CHAPTER 11 of the First Edition:

For anyone following along in David Coward's translation of the First Edition of Phantom of the Opera (either in paperback, or Kindle, or from another vendor -- the ISBN-13 is: 978-0199694570), the text of You Must Forget the Name of 'the Man’s Voice' starts at the beginning of the chapter, “The day after Christine vanished before Raoul’s very eyes in a sort of blinding flash…,” and goes to Christine’s line, “But I have no husband and have no intention of marrying, ever!”

NOTE: Coward translated this chapter title strangely, as “Forget the Name of the Man with the Voice.”

There are some differences between the Gaulois text and the First Edition. In this section, these include (highlighted in red above):

1) Chapter XI was printed as Chapter XII, and Chapter XII was misprinted as Chapter XIII. This numbering error was made in Chapter VII, and was not corrected, so it was propagated throughout the Gaulois publication.

2) Since Chapter XI, “The Magic Envelope,” was removed from the First Edition, there is one fewer chapter in the First Edition than in the Gaulois, and the numbering between the two editions is different from this chapter forward.

3) Compare the Gaulois text:

“dévoilé la trame” (“unveiled the plot”)

To the First Edition:

“démêlé la trame” (“unraveled the plot”)

4) L'Ange de la musique/le génie de la musique:

In this part of the Gaulois text, Mme Valérius and Raoul refer to Erik as the “le génie de la musique” (the spirit of music), whereas in the First Edition, they refer to him as “l'Ange de la musique (the Angel of Music).

5) Minor differences in punctuation.

The opera went off without a hitch for its two first acts: No disembodied voices echoing around the auditorium (nor did the new chandelier, installed at the beginning of the year, rattle precariously above the audience’s heads; the police took great care to put men up near it, lest they have a repeat of Il Muto’s curtain call), no rats raining from the rafters, not even a whisper of a ghost being around. There was still tension felt among the cast, the crew, and the managers, but so far, all had gone well.

And all continued to go well as the third act began, as the Don, draped in a hooded black cloak, sought to seduce the beautiful Aminta, exuding confidence from his anonymity-at least, until Aminta herself proved to be just as bound and determined to seduce her mystery suitor, taking her would-be lover by surprise with her forward flirtations, as they together approached The Point of No Return.

Randall gulped from behind the veil as he watched Emily skip out onto the stage, singing cheerfully as she flounced around, spritely and light-footed (a small showcase of her dancing talents as well as her vocal ones): Truly, she was beautiful in the peachy tones of Aminta’s dress, evoking spring-turning-summer (especially with a rose blooming in her blonde locks), with her tall black boots and black trim of her gown hinting at a mature streak many often overlooked. She was everything he dreamed of in the role and more.

Am I a fool? he thought to himself as he watched her, preparing for their long-awaited duet: Was this even a good idea, putting himself out onstage in front of an ocean of people, right under the noses of the police? Should he have just stayed in the attic like Emily suggested in her letter? An uncertainty began to creep into his gut...

…but as soon as Emily looked at him, and he began to sing, none of that mattered to him now, as he found himself melting effortlessly into the role of Don Juan, just as she had so beautifully melted into the role of Aminta. To be quite honest, the title character was the only one he hadn’t made any casting suggestions for in the libretto, as a part of him had always longed to play it himself. He never, ever imagined that he ever would, granted, and yet...here he was: Singing for a captivated audience with his angel.

And right under Morgan’s nose too! he thought delightedly, catching a glimpse of the pianist in the pit as he turned all of his focus on Emily and their performance.

News of the fight had spread throughout the city . When locals began to panic her majesty declared an investigation to find whatever was causing the smog , shutting down several outputs and demanding residents to install "ad blocker" . A foolish request , but one that would hopefully minimalize whatever danger might be near for those who weren't able to flee in time . For Eileen it was radio towers . The high frequency along with metal scraping across the pavement made it impossible to focus , and with her magic reaching it's limit she had no choice but to find other methods to aid in Spafnir's combat . Alas , her efforts to climb were met with further distress . Words were exchanged , wings swirl among the exhaust fume leading her straight down a incline ; toppling into a pile of freshly disposed bags which burst on impact . - 5 HP With particles of code , and whatever mess had been compacted into those bags clinging to her skin she took a moment to collect herself before attempting to make her way back to Spaul's shop . By the time she arrived there was little but the smell of burnt plastic , the air still heavy bringing quite the coughing fit as Eileen trekked aimlessly . * You called out to Spafnir ! * ... But nobody came . ❝ Spafnir ! Spaul ! Where are you ?! ❞ * .... Nobody came . It's here the Lightner bumped her shoulder against something . A potent smell , mixed with copper and grease adding to her grimace . That's when she sees it , the partially melted blaster . Umbers trailed the magenta pattern until she sees not one , but two Heartbreakers slumped against the pile . It's enough to frighten her , even more when she sees their host . ❝ Oh my God ... ❞ ❝ Non . Nonono , il ne t'a pas tué . Il ne le ferait pas- ❞ An audible splash drew her attention to the puddle of oil , the heel of her boot coated with it . However , it's the flecks outside of their source that lead out towards the abandoned shop , a bigger smear left outside as the distinct mark of Spafnir's paw tinted the metal frame . She wastes no time .

The remains of the NEO suit, now that its core had been removed, were truly a ghastly sight to behold. Hardened metal completely coated the arm where the cannon had been, locking it in place on the ground in which it lay flat. The head of the suit was dim, black with no power. The Heartbreakers were flailed out in all directions, but unmoving. The strings Eileen hadn’t managed to sever draped around its lifeless form.

And finally, its chest has been cut open, exposing the many, many more lime green wires within. Black oil had begun to leak out of it since the battle had ended as well. But once the terror of this once alive-and-insane body subsided, one would press forward and enter the mess that was Spaul’s shop.

Buttercups from Saffron and various other precious gems were scattered everywhere, but far more striking was Spaul-little, puppet Spaul-lying lifeless in the center of the shop. Spafnir has deposited him there, as evidenced by the paw marks Eileen saw. He was laying in a pool of black oil, oil which had come from the suit he was forcibly removed from. His glasses pitch black, with static only visible if you squinted. He was unresponsive, but alive.

The feather Eileen had intertwined in Spaul NEO’s feathers was laying on top of him; it would be much more visible in the puppet’s hair if Eileen chose to do what she had done before again.

Perhaps if the puppet was attended to, if he was cared for while his systems processed the sudden separation from the suit and he came back online, he would become responsive again. But who would do this for someone who had caused so much chaos? For someone who had abducted her out of both love for her and paranoia and concern for her well-being?

Welcome to the 43rd installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 113 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Chapter 17, "Christine ! Christine !" ("Christine! Christine!"), as well as Part I of Chapter 18, "Révélations étonnantes de Mme Giry, relatives à ses relations personnelles avec le fantôme de l’Opéra" ("Mme Giry’s Astonishing Revelations, Regarding Her Personal Relations with the Phantom of the Opera").

This section was first printed on Tuesday, 30 November, 1909.

For anyone following along in David Coward’s translation (the link is to the Kindle edition on Amazon US), the text starts in Chapter 16 with, “Following Christine Daaé's startlingly phantasmagoric disappearance, Raoul's first thought had been to suspect Erik,” and goes to Chapter 17, “…in which Messrs Richard and Moncharmin had locked themselves for reasons still unclear to the reader which it is my duty as chronicler to keep hidden from him no longer.” NOTE however that the ending of this section in the Gaulois differs from the ending in the 1st Edition, since in Chapter 17 in the 1st Edition, Leroux summarized the events that transpired in "The Magic Envelope" (the chapter that Leroux omitted from the 1st Edition, for which I published the first English translation).

There are some differences between the standard 1st Edition text and the Gaulois text. In this section, these include (highlighted in red above):

1) Chapter XVIII was printed as Chapter XIX. This numbering error was made in Chapter VII, and was not corrected, so it was propagated throughout the Gaulois publication.

2) Chapter 18 in the Gaulois text is Chapter 17 in the 1st Edition, etc.

3) This passage appeared in the Gaulois text, but was omitted from the 1st Edition:

Que va-t-il devenir ? Que devient-elle ? Où est-elle ?...

("What was to become of him? What was to become of her? Where was she?")

4) Compare the Gaulois text:

Oui, Christine lui a bien parlé de cela !… Et il court, il sort.

("Yes, Christine had spoken to him of that!… And he rushed out.")

To the 1st Edition:

Oui, Christine lui a bien parlé de cela !… Et après avoir constaté, hélas ! que la lourde clef n'est pas dans le coffret, il n'en court pas moins à la rue Scribe.

("Yes, Christine had spoken to him of that!… And after noting, alas, that the weighty key was not in its box, he nevertheless rushed to the Rue Scribe.")

5) This line was added to the 1st Edition, and did not appear in the Gaulois:

Le Persan !

("The Persian!")

6) In the 1st Edition, this section of "Mme Giry's Astonishing Revelations" was cut, and a section was added to summarize "The Magic Envelope." In Coward's translation, this added text goes from, "I have had occasion to observe that, over a period, the mood of both Directors had changed for the worse" and goes to, "The next time eventually came round… as it happened, on the very day of Christine Daaé's disappearance." In the Gaulois, Leroux wrote (highlighted in red above):

I will surprise no one in stating that MM. Richard and Moncharmin had not abandoned the hope of returning the first twenty thousand francs to their cashbox, which the Phantom had taken out. And to this purpose, they had not hesitated to risk twenty thousand more. This is, moreover, a bold speculation, or if you will, a daring calculation, which is rather common amongst unlucky gamblers. The Managers had lost the first round against P. of the O. They hoped to win the second.

"May the second round go to us!" Richard had thus exclaimed… "I have advocated patience, my poor Moncharmin, only that we may better catch P. of the O. with his hand in the till."

The till, in this case, was none other than the magic envelope.

7) Minor differences in punctuation.
