already this year is off to a crazy start. yesterdaymy husband was going to his sportsman club when he looked up and discovered our durango was stolen :roadrage: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stunned would be putting it mildly. as i stated before we live directly across the street from nys university meaning 17,000 students.not sure how they got into car ,it was locked;however hubby had left a key in console;stupid;stupid;stupid .it was there at 11pm gone at 9am.he thought he heard a car beep at 3 am but with 3 students renting next door with many friends this is not unusual. called police and they took report. we figured it was aleady on its way to n.y.city and in pieces.

.husband took our van and decided to look for it himself. having grown up in a very bad area he thought he would check shopping parking lots,places known for unsavory street business; under bridges etc. i knew about shopping centers lol.oldest son said to check out pine hill area ,where many students rent. often after drinking decide they need a ride home and steal a car to get there and abandon it. husband checked there . meanwhile we gave a prayer to my bother-in-law who has passed to help us. he couldn't find squat while on this side but now has eagle vision. we often will search for something, can't find it;ask joey for help and there it is,same place we looked before he does like messing with us.. he and my husband were very good friends. we said joe we know that this is probably out of your league but please help and put st.anthony on the case for backup. low and behold HE FOUND IT. he parked 2 car lengths away and waited for police.signed some papers police checked his pistol permit. and drove durango home; undamaged with chain saws still in back and they took some change about $15.00 and finished dinking husbands gatorade lol.computers delete button not working so hopefully you can decipher this .looking car over husband found a stolen n.y.c. child's protective service's shield with a lot of prints. called police again and they came and picked badge up.we drove back to site where car found of picked up van and came home. meanwhile heart was beating a little quicker than usual.so very thankful all was well again.

we are blessed
