Well, we had a little "drama" this morning. Dean (despite my repeated warnings NOT to do it) started his truck to warm it up while he ate breakfast. When he went out to get in the truck, he saw it driving down the street. Someone had stolen his truck!!! He ran in the house, dumped my purse looking for my keys and took off in my van chasing after them while I called the police.Mr. Superhero caught up with them in front of WinCo's as they were waiting at the red light. He pulled my BRAND NEW van sideways in front of the truck so they couldn't drive off and jumped out and started yelling at the lady (yes, a lady) to get out of his truck. She threw the truck in reverse and rammed the car behind her (which turned out to be her accomplice). When she figured out that she couldn't get away she jumped out of the truck and ran off.
So Dean got his truck back with very little damage to the back bumper and we spent the next half hour with the police giving statements. Lucky he didn't get pulled over driving the truck home because we had reported it stolen and he took off so fast he didn't grab his drivers license!
Dean promises never to leave his truck running again!
(And no, they didn't catch the theif. Bummer)

I have to say, this story is much better when you hear it in person! Glad it all worked out in the end!
GO DEAN!!!! But you forgot the part when the lady came back and said she left her phone in the truck, UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I have to commend Dean for having the self control not to deck her!! Glad you got your truck back, DEAN ROCKS!!!
After Amy's comment, we wondered if you actually gave her back her cell phone and if that is when the police arrested her????
You've got to be kidding me!!!!
When the lady came to his window and demanded her phone back, Dean had his truck and my car both in the middle of the road awful close to rush hour time. He was also full of adrenaline. So he just threw the phone at her and told her to get away from him. In hindsight, he said he should have kept the phone so they could track her down! He didn't have his phone with him, so he was unable to let the police know where he was. By the time they met up at our house, the lady was long gone.
WOW! Talk about amazing! I think you were being watched out for in more ways than you can begin to count. I'm glad you got it back and that no one was hurt.
