Justin came home from work yesterday and told me it was time for a new truck. He said when he turned it on to drive home from work it made the loudest sound, almost like something was wrong with the exhaust. My husband is a little fix it man so he went outside to go and look underneath the truck to see if he could tell what was wrong and this is what he found. A two foot gap of his exhaust pipe was missing. So actually this is only half, there was another pipe cut just like this one. Come to find out someone had took a saw to his pipes and cut out his catalytic converter. Funny thing, I was watching the news tonight and '3 On Your Side' had a special report on people stealing these things. I guess it is quick cash as they can sell it at a junk yard for about a hundred bucks. Justin's work has camera's up, so he saw the whole thing on tape today, funny thing is the camera's are so bad you couldn't even tell if the person was a man or a woman, no license plate or anything. I asked Justin why they even have cameras. Who knows? So...one hundred quick dollars for someone, three hundred less for us. I think they got the better end of the deal.

Oh that is so sad! Stuff like that makes me so mad, what makes people think they can do things like that?
Oh no, that stinks! I hate it when stuff like that happens!
That is seriously so sad. You have gotta wonder how people can feel good about doing that.
We had heard the story, but the picture and your comments are even better!
