We Got the Car Back!

I was so excited to get a call from a police officer today. Our car was found parked along the sidewalk in a nice neighborhood in Fair Oaks. It appears that some punks just took it for a joy ride then dumped it. The neighbors on that street said that the car had been sitting there for a few days. It's in mostly good shape, but the bumper in the back has been pushed in and overlaps a side panel, and the engine is making a very suspicious noise. The tires were very dirty, covered in mud. They looked like the car had been doing donuts and probably ran over something and hit a piece on the underside, probably causing the weird noise. We didn't have much in the car. The stereo was already gone from the last time it was stolen. The punks just cleaned out the center console and threw all of its contents all over the floor. Luckily we had gotten into the habit of taking everything out of the car when we get home so there was nothing to take.

We are just so glad that our prayers were answered. We were worried that it would be our luck that since last time we didn't have full coverage on our cars, and Heavenly Father blessed us with getting the car back last time, that this time, now that we have full coverage to cover the stolen car we wouldn't get it back. This was the answer to our prayers. We are so grateful.

I'm so glad you were able to get the car back. I remember when it was taken from the apartment I lived in too. You are right they are LAME! And CONGRATS on the move! That's exciting!
