Superhero Daddy

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)
