On Saturday Joe and I decided to go fishing again in our "lucky" spot. We packed up our stuff and headed to the beautiful river. We got there about 12pm, parked our truck with the ten other vehicles there, I put my purse under the seat, locked up the truck and headed through the woods to the river. After a couple of hours most everyone had left and we found ourselves fishing alone until this nice gentleman who was fishing with us earlier came back. When he saw us still here he asked where we parked our vehicle and mentioned that there was no truck there, but some broken glass. We of course quickly left to check out what he was talking about. Surely this was not possible! As we got up the hill, he was right! Our vehicle was gone! No Yukon! We were in complete shock! We called 9-1-1 and started making all the appropriate phone calls. Praise God I had my cell phone and Joe had his wallet. Sadly, his cell phone and my wallet/purse was in the truck. The irony.
The next couple of hours were extremely stressful. I couldn't believe this had happened, but we were told this town had been getting hit hard lately with car theft. In fact the funny part was that the cops had chased a black 2003 Yukon for speeding, but they couldn't catch up so they let him go. Hmmmmm.....
More to come later....
