Recovered Car

Amazingly enough...the car was recovered the Monday after it was stolen. It was abandoned in Graham, so we had to go last Monday and pick it up. The car is still driveable and in the same condition that they stole it in. Of course, they stole Mark's skateboard (over $100), portable DVD player ($50), and sweatshirt. The baby carseat was also missing. When Mark got in he said "it was someone short" based on where the seat was positioned. We are assuming that it was some kids who ditched the carseat on the side of the road to make room for their friends. The only thing that really sucked is that even though it was driveable, the deputy chose to have the car towed. We had to pay the $200+ in charges...not to mention the pain in the butt that the ordeal was to our family. Praise the Lord that we don't have to buy a new car right now! Life sure has been stressful lately! The guy at the tow company said that they have seen several older cars get stolen lately just so that the person can make it home. How stupid is that? Forget about problem solving...just steal a car....or is that their problem solving? Grrr!!!
