on gone with the wind and other stolen items

try the following riddle
A car travelling at a speed just enough not to get caught is leaving Cleveland at around 4PM. At the same time, taxi is leaving Chicago heading east driven by a suspected Somali pirate is traveling as 3$ a minute (actually 2, the extra one is because the passenger is tired and not paying attention)
the question is, when will they meet and how much will it cost.
out of the many damages inflicted by Sandy, a minor incident accrued. with my mom visiting , arriving in Chicago the day of the storm and having the next flight to Cleveland cancelled. quick check found that all trains are booked for the next two days, and next bus in 4 pm the next day, no flights of course, so I drove to Chicago for the best air port pickup ever (George would be proud) , my mom took a cab and we met in south bend Indiana just after 8.30PM, we arrived at the same minute which was strange. so i took my mom's bags from the taxi and also a book "what to expect when you're expecting" which i was sure was for us. apparently not, what the driver didn't expect is to have his what to expect when you're expecting book to be stolen. If you hear about the Somalian government blaming Israel, know that its my fault.  the guy left a list with names, like a wedding list, we tried to track him down, but no luck , since no receipt was taken we don't know which company, note to passenger, take receipts.
 
well that is it, the storm didn't affect this area much other then non stop 5 days of rain.
p.s
enjoy a tiny album of Halloween photos
 
p.s2
a very interesting thing occurs if you google image for my mom 'libi moore' image attached
 
p.s3 - if you take a taxi from Chicago with a Somalian driver, let me know
 
cheers
