In loving memory...Jeep 2005

The impound lot
They took the back seat, tire, carpet, my tires and rims (replaced with their crappy ones.)


Carpet, air conditioner, doors, radio etc....

Of coarse they had to break out the windshield.


It was 3 years ago this week that my beloved Jeep was stolen from in front of my parents house. We were living there at the time, and I was 9 months pregnant. I remember I woke up, and waddled my way up the stairs to take my usual perch on the front couch. I looked out the window and noticed that my Jeep was gone. Thinking that my dad must have taken it for a ride, I wasn't too worried......then I heard him in the garage. I opened the door and said, "If you are here, then my Jeep has been stolen.
We went through the normal routine when something like this happens, called the police and became obsessed with looking for it. Every where we went I was looking. Anyway a week later I had Austin, 2 1/2 weeks early. I blame, and thank the stress from the Jeep on his early appearance.
Months later I got the call from the police asking if I owned a 1995 Jeep Wrangler, and telling me it had been found in none other then West Valley City. Bet you arent surprised. I wasn't either.
So this is how they found her. Demolished, beaten, broken down and left to fend for herself. Sooooo sad. I couldn't look at these pictures for months. I wanted to remember her the way she was. Good news though, we got a great pay off from the insurance company.
