Apologies if some think the above is in bad taste, I do have a peculiar sense of humour sometimes

If the outcome had been different/worse, then it would have been in bad taste, but it's in our nature to 'laugh in the face of adversity', as it keeps us sane. With that in mind, and to lighten the mood, your comment reminds me of this joke:

A husband contacted the police to file a “missing person” report for his missing wife. This is a true transcript of his conversation with the police officer.

Husband: I lost my wife, she went shopping and hasn’t come back yet.

Policeman: What is her height?

Husband: I never checked.

Policeman: Slim or fat?

Husband: Not slim, not fat.

Policeman: Color of eyes?

Husband: Never noticed.

Policeman: Color of hair?

Husband: Changes according to season.

Policeman: What was she wearing?

Husband: Not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.

Policeman: Was she driving?

Husband: Yes.

Policeman: Color of the car?

Husband: Black Audi A8 with supercharged 3.0 litre V6 engine generating 333 horse power teamed with an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. And it has full LED headlights, which use light emitting diodes for all light functions and has a very thin scratch on the front left door, and then the husband started crying.

Policeman: Don’t worry sir, we will find your car.
