Hi my name is Sandra King & my husband is Steven King. On the night of November 16th into November 17th, my husband's 2007 dodge charger R/T was stolen between the hours of 1022pm-2am from our driveway as well as my car was broken into!.(BOTH OF OUR CARS WERE LOCKED) My husband woke up @6:15am to get ready for work like any normal day. He walked outside @6:22am to see that his car was gone. He came back inside woke me up. I ran outside & called the police immediately. We filed a report on his stolen car and my car being broken into. The officers arrived to take statements and fingerprints. She proceeded to go door to door to ask neighbors for footage. But unfortunately there was no luck. We called our car insurance to file a claim & asked what happens if the worse were to happen & they told us that they would NOT cover anything even if the car was not found or it was found but it was wrecked. So this was a total loss for us either way! At approximately 930am we got a call that our car was spotted on 41 heading south between Powell rd & spring hill dr. So we immediately took off and called 911. But by the time the cops & ourselves got over that way, they were gone. We drove all day from 50(cortez blvd) all the way down to sr54 and back & down a bunch of side roads. But no luck. We felt so hopeless! At approximately 330pm we got a call from a lady that stated she works at the pawn shop located at 19&countyline rd & that our car was in a hot pursuit chase with FHP down countyline. At the exact moment our heart sunk and we cried because we knew something bad was going to happen! We just prayed he didn't hurt anyone! As we got to countyline road and approached the scene, we both just broke down. At that moment we knew our life just changed drastically. We finally got out and went up to car to see that within 8-10 hours they gutted everything we had in that car. My husband had a nice car stereo system in that car, a backpack with all his work stuff, an expensive winter jacket (he works outside all day & the cold effects him) & some of our kids belongings (booster seat, shoes, toys etc). But its all the stuff we worked our asses off to get. Most importantly tho our car was totalled & my husband no longer has a car to get to and from work. After talking with FHP we were informed that the 2 guys that stole our car were fresh out of prison. We do NOT know them personally. We also found out that the male that was driving our car just got out of prison because of auto theft, burglary & home invasion! We do not have updates of the passenger yet except the fact that he broke both his legs and is still in critical condition.
We are NEVER the ones to ask for help. We are both ones that are always helping others. But we have hit our lowest point with this situation. So we are trying to raise enough money to get my husband a car to get to and from work & to get our kids from school & their other parents house! Any penny counts to help us get him a car. This was our baby & we are extremely devasted!
