Two weeks ago, Julieta Granada had a dream that someone stole her 2010 Range Rover with her golf clubs inside. She woke up sweating.
Granada, 33, said the dream was so real she told everyone about it.
“Well that’s crazy,” her boyfriend told her, “because a car recently got stolen like three houses down.”
On Sunday, Granada’s nightmare became a reality. She’d left her keys in her boyfriend’s locked car in front of his Lake Nona home in Laureate Park. When she went outside to retrieve her keys, they were gone. Along with her Range Rover, which was parked about 200 yards away.
“It was like the dream,” said Granada. More like a nightmare.
And just like the dream, her clubs were inside the Range Rover. Her mother, Rosa, actually told her to take her TrackMan out of her SUV after the dream. Thankfully, she heeded that advice.
Granada posted photos of her car on social media hoping that someone might spot it. A police detective got a hit on her plates in Miami late Monday night heading toward South Beach. She’s hoping the thieves are on a joy ride partying and will drop the car off somewhere. With pawn shops closed due to the coronavirus, she’s also hoping for the best for her clubs too.
“My car was not insured for theft,” she said. “If I don’t get my car back, I’m walking.”
With club manufacturers closed, it might be a while before she gets any replacements. Granada didn’t have status on the LPGA last year and bought her own Titleist driver. She’s back on the LPGA for the 2020 season after finishing seventh on last year’s Symetra Tour money list.
This isn’t the first time one of Granada’s dreams have predicted the future. At age 19, she had a vivid dream that she won an LPGA stop in Mexico. That didn’t happen, but a couple weeks later she won the $1 million payout at the season-ending ADT Championship.
Granada bought a white Range Rover after that victory and replaced it with a black model in 2010.
Amazingly, this marks the first time Granada has ever been separated from her clubs. She’s never had them go missing on a flight or stolen from the course.
“The good thing is they’re still using the car, still using the SunPass,” she said. “My car is still alive and in one piece.”
Now she can only hope that someone spots her license tag and calls the police.
