Our Vehicle Was Stolen
I’m just beside myself right now.
Tonight I was waiting for my husband to get done with one of his appointments and so I ran to a Walmart near where he was so that I could wait for him. He decided that when he was done, he would just run in and meet me and we’d go. When we got back to the parking lot we found that his truck was gone. A 91 Nissan pickup truck with 220,000 miles on it. The parking lot cameras showed an SUV pull down the aisle we were parked in, a guy get out, walk up to the truck, open it and drive away – all within about 30 seconds. The cop that we filed the police report with said that the older vehicles are stolen all the time with worn keys.
To make matters worse, he left his guitar in it. He was just going to run in and out and there really should have been no harm in it. That guitar is our bread and butter because he’s a music instructor. Oh yeah, a music instructor who travels to people’s homes to give lessons – who now has no vehicle and no instrument.
And let’s just add insult to injury. We just paid off a loan to a family member who helped us buy his school books. Guess what else was in his truck? $300 worth of school books.
It’s times like these that life feels like it’s over. We were just starting to get back on our feet and now the means to make our money has been taken from us.
Tomorrow we hit the pawn shops to see if someone pawned the guitar. Wish us luck.
Oh my gosh.. that’s just awful.. Positive thoughts you get lucky and they find it right away with guitar and books untouched…

This is horrible. I was in a similar situation in the past, but this isn’t about me. There are 2 kinds of people in life that I absolutely hate: Thieves and Liars. Thieves are the worst, but only these kinds of thieves. (The other kind, well, I’ll explain later on, on my own blog.) These kinds of thieves steal for profit, their profit, without regard to your personal well-being.
I hate to say this, but I hope this guy gets caught and then shot.

I feel the same way RT. I almost said it in front of the cop too, but I caught myself. I’m so fed up with theft!
I am so sorry to hear this! I have never been able to understand theft!
