A terrible incident occured last night...Christmas Eve...
My Mint Condition 91 Chevy Truck was stolen. The truck is parked right in front of my apartment so I can't believe I didn't hear them steal it. My Doctor's have me on such strong medication that it doesn't surprise me that I slept the night thru.
Now with no wheels we have another cross to bare!!
I guess this is what builds character. You would think that at my age I would have built enough character.

Anyways...It's Christmas
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!

Walter, I hope they just took it for a joy ride and ran out of gas. Strange things do happen. A guy I worked with used to have his car and others in his apartment building "borrowed" on a regular basis. They always returned it, but they also borrowed it when ever they wanted to. I hope yours is just around the corner waiting for you.

Walter that is awful. You certainly don't need this especially on Christmas Day.

I very sorry to hear about this. Keep us posted with any outcome Brother.

Walter--

The chances are pretty high that this is a joy ride sort of an episode and the the Chevy will be found. We will certainly put those thoughts out for you. May 2007 bring you a better year.

Walter,

I'm sorry to hear of your situation. Yet, as you well know, God has a way of redeeming stuff. You could well end up with a bigger blessing as a result. Maybe you'll talk with your insurance agent who may need encouragement, maybe you'll meet someone who's walking through some health issues like you, who knows. You have a special opportunity, specially crafted and unique to YOU, to be a blessing, and I believe as a result, you will be positioned to RECEIVE a blessing. Be faithful, and watch what happens. You'll be amazed at what He does for/through you. The enemy meant this for evil, but God will turn it around and disgrace him with it. Remember who you belong to and Who holds your life in the palm of His hand. You are blessed. Pray for the theif while you're at it, too.

Merry Christmas

Perhaps this should've been a PM, so I put the warning it title

Walter

So sorry to hear of your loss of vehicle. Like some of the others have said a lot of times the vehicle is left abandoned just blocks from where it is stolen. I'll pray the Lord will allow youi to get it back in short time with little or no damage. I do hope the rest of Christmas was good for you though. Kepp looking up ther are many praying for you at this time.God bless.

Don't give up hope. Same thing happened to me when my van was stolen about 3 months ago. The police found it abandoned nearly 2 months later - undamaged but with some mud in the back and abou 100 miles extra on the clock. Seems like someone used it to move something then dumped it.Cachalote39082.3425115741
