Mona's Truck Stolen ...

Our good friend Mona Mikkelsen (USAF retired) had the misfortune of having her big white Ford F-250 diesel crew cab stolen Wednesday night while at dinner. She had locked up after getting something out of the truck and 15 minutes later she leaves the establishment and discovers her truck missing. The police of course file a report and state that these vehicles are favorites for smuggling drugs and/or people with questionable immigration status. The Customs and Border Protection agency was keeping an eye out for it and spotted the truck Thursday trying to cross the border.
The thief or hired driver, (I'm not sure which) apparently tried to run a road block and was unsuccessful. Her truck was recovered and all should be well. Can't say the same for the driver. Insurance will have to fix a couple of bullet holes and clean up some blood, but at least she'll have her hauler back. Comes in handy for picking up feed for her horses and such.

Here's some coverage from the local news ...
