The van is warm when I'm ready to go, but locked while I'm in the house.

Although, they think it was used to steel some sheet rock from a near by construction site. I can see me getting pulled over in the future when they decide it WAS my van but forget that I didn't have possession of it at the time. Good thing we're moving!<br /><br />It sounds like you live in a scary place.

A man walking to his car was approached by two men he didn't knew who pulled a gun on him. They demanded the keys to his car or they would kill him (of course he gave them the keys). Then they took off in it. The police went on a manhunt for the two men and apprehended them later that day in the stolen vehicle after a high speed chase. There have also been cars stolen out of the parking lot in my apartment complex where I live, and where I work. My boss' car was stolen and wasn't recovered for months. They found it abandoned on the Texas border to Mexico.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-25257135464147227412012-10-12T10:28:25.162-05:002012-10-12T10:28:25.162-05:00Me too!Me too!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-89768611725105956072012-10-12T10:27:44.543-05:002012-10-12T10:27:44.543-05:00Very creepy.

I'm so glad your van is back and you don't have to buy a new one and deal with insurance on top of moving! Creepy about them doing it while you were home and all.

This morning I even thought it might be a blessing for the other people who had stuff stolen because a van is a lot easier to find than the smaller stuff taken out of the other cars. The police said they have a pretty good idea who it might have been.<br /><br />The weirdest thought I had, and I chalk this up to being a writer, was that I was now a footnote in someone's police record.
