It's better to be safe than sorry

Last night "Da Bronx" became what we had seen on TV before our mission. Two of our young Elders stopped by at about 8:30 pm to drop off the carpet cleaner that resides in our basement. (They did a good deed for an investigator by hauling in their "Bronx cart", the carpet cleaner across town to an investigators home and cleaned her carpet.) Anyway, they dropped it off here and then went next door to the chapel for a few minutes. As they were there they watched a truck pull up to a car, bring out their power tools and take off the bumper and side panel and who knows what else. They had it off and in the back of their truck in a matter of a minute or two and they were gone. Elder Hinds called and told us that we might want to park our car in the back thru our gate and not leave it out on the road. He then relayed info that he had been given about how there are many auto repair places that find it cheaper to rip of what they need to fix a car instead of forking out the money to purchase one for the car they are repairing. How sad, and how scary. So, Doug pulled the car out back and wrapped the rusty old chain around the fence to look like it was locked.
