Went outside last Sunday and our car was gone. We owed nothing on it. It was stolen. Police I filed the report with said car thieves often target Hyundais since they’re easy to hot wire.
I’m good about locking the car, but I’ll never know if I had locked the car the night before. Is what it is. Life lesson here, no matter how safe it is where you live, and our area is relatively very safe, use The Club on your steering wheel. $20 well spent.
My elderly aunt lives in a very nice neighborhood in Midtown Tulsa. She looked out her window one night and saw two thugs stealing her car. That traumatized her so much she has a complex at night she will get robbed again resulting in chronic insomnia she didn’t have before the incident.
We had to scramble this week to buy another car, a used Honda Civic with good miles, and the first thing I did was go buy a Club, even though the car has a security system. I’ll tell you, having your car stolen is shocking, considering it is practically like a vital organ to survive in the US.
I pray God brings down His justice on the thug or thugs who stole our car, and if they catch them, which they almost certainly will not, I’ll march right into court and testify. And pray for their rehabilitation. But at this point I expect the car is either destroyed or at the bottom of a pond, which the police expected. Typically car thieves use the car to commit another crime, then get rid of the evidence.
So public service announcement here, go buy a Club. If I remember correctly Paul Harvey had a catchy ad for the Club he did on his radio program.
Is what it is. Life goes on. Two kingdoms constantly compete in this world, the kingdom of the evil spirit and the kingdom of God.
I choose the latter.
