DISHONEST PEOPLE STINK!!!

So, no car yet! Keep praying for us. Yesterday, I received a call from our bank. They were calling to check to see if I had written out a $350 check to a Christine Knight. I responded, don't know a Christine Knight, never written out a check to her. Well, they had a girl there with a fraudulent check she had written out to herself and they had her ID too! Do you want us to call the POLICE?? ARE YOU KIDDING - - CALL CALL CALL!!! Well, I have to say, the girl left the bank before they got off the phone with me. I took off down to the bank to meet the police and hopefully in my mind nab this girl and GET OUR CAR BACK!! They had her drivers license so I called the police dispatched and asked that the address be sent to officer from the ID to go check for our car. I walk in the bank thinking for sure we got them!! I really want to have STUPID CROOKS involved here!!! I walk into the bank and from the front door I could tell the ID was FAKE - - one of the officers was looking at it!! GRRRRRRRRRR!! At least they didn't get another $350 from us!!! I am just hoping she will go into another WELLSFARGO and try again so we can NAB HER!! I want my car back and I WANT THIS GIRL and WHO EVER IS INVOLVED WITH THE CAR NABBED! She is lucky she wasn't there when I got there!! She would have gotten an ear full.

OH! Here is the other killer! The police officer asked, "If we catch her would you like us to prosecute her?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Here is another example of how MESSED UP OUR LEGAL SYSTEM IS!! As far as I am concerned, the BANK SHOULDN"T NEED TO CALL AND GET PERMISSION TO CALL THE POLICE if the KNOW A CHECK IS LOOKING FRAUDULENT!! SECOND, someone who COMMITS A CRIME SHOULD BE PROSECUTED - - we shouldn't be asked!! I after I responded. "I want her prosecuted" I asked, why they ask? They responded, "Believe it or not there are people who say no just let them go!" HELLO!! If there are any of those people out there who would say, "Oh they didn't get my money let them go - - you are letting a CRIMINAL go - - no they weren't successful in their crime because they were caught in the act! But, they committed a CRIME and not prosecuting them leaves them free to do it to OTHER PEOPLE!! You do something wrong you should just PAY FOR IT!! We wonder why we have so much CRIME in the U.S. because our laws aren't HARSH ENOUGH and we don't STAND UP TO THESE LAZY people who would RATHER STEAL FROM THOSE OF US ACTUALLY WORKING!!

Next, lesson I learned! We probably would have had her if I had informed my bank the day I was no longer available at my parents home my new number!! They called my parents home, my mom gave her my cell number. But, the tell was so excited to be catching the girl and was trying to keep her there, get ahold of me, and get on with calling the police that she wrote the number down wrong. So, she called the wrong number, had to call my mom back, and finally got me! So, she made 4 phone calls - - the girl was still in the bank for the two phone calls to get my cell number, one phone call to hear, "you have the wrong number." If she had had my cell number to begin with we would have the girl!! And, there were police officers RIGHT THERE!! YEP~! There is an apartment complex next to the bank, they were leaving (driving toward the bank) when they got the call! So, learn from my mistake, the DAY you are no longer available at a number, give your BANK your new NUMBER!! I would go a step FURTHER - - just give them YOUR CELL NUMBER!! That way, when they call for this, you will alway be able to get the CALL!!! That is the only thing they use that number they put on your file for!! So, GIVE THEM YOUR UPDATED PHONE NUMBER ALWAYS - - not two weeks after you move, not three days after you move, but the DAY you are no longer available there!!

So, long story short, NO CAR, they didn't get away with ANOTHER 350! Pray we have a SET OF REALLY STUPID CRIMINALS that will do something in the next week that get us our CAR BACK!! I just want that car backs so bad!! Please please praye we get it back!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Are you freakin' kidding me???? Um YAH, grab that crazy thief and throw them in jail!!! Yep, we had someone call us couple weeks ago and ask if we just charged over $400 in shoes online? Um NO! So we called our credit card company, and yep someone had also tried to charge $650 online too. Our card was immediately cancelled and a new one sent. We hadn't even used that card in a few months - only for car repairs. CRAZY!!!! I can't stand thieves!!

Luckily she didn't get your money - this time! I hope your car is found really soon!!

((hugs))

That is crazy. I can relate somewhat to what you are going through. I had my purse stolen once. The worst part is that it was stolen from work. And all the things that happen with the police afterwards is crazy. My friend had it even worse -- they stole her purse from her home while she was there and having an open house trying to sell her home.

Yes, dishonest people stink!! Good luck on getting your car back. You are in my thoughts wishing you good things to come.

If it is any consolation, our other friends had their truck stolen in Las Vegas a few weeks before you had yours stolen and they just found theirs with only the lock and ignition punched out and the car seat stolen...
