JEEP Stolen Heart Broken

I had a 1993 XJ. It was my first jeep, and was so excited to have one. I got it in rough shape. Rust, Leaks everywhere, doors falling off from rusted hinges. It was destined for a junkyard, but I wanted to save it. For years I worked on it. Slowly fixing, repairing, and investing my time, money, and energy. It returned my hard work with reliability, and wonderful memories. I put 100,000 miles on it with family and friends. When I was young, my dad had a tacoma. Whenever I would get in there I was filled with excitement. I knew it meant we were going on an adventure. I still remember how it smelled.

I wanted to create a camping rig so my daughter could experience the same thing. We went on countless trips in that thing, and it took care of us.

I know it's just a vehicle, but the memories forged in it were priceless and irreplaceable.

Some low life criminal stole my Jeep while I was at work.

All the blood, sweat, and time invested gone.

Although no Jeep will ever be able to take its place, I will have to move on and build a new rig.

If you have money to spare, and want to put it towards a good cause, I can assure you it will be well used.

This is an investment in helping me create something that will provide wonderful memories for my family. Just as my dad gave those to me, I will pass them on to my daughter.

The likely hood that it will be recovered is slim as the officer writing the report claimed. But if it is recovered, it will likely need a lot of work and missing parts if even repairable.
