Recovered Van & Trailor?

Ok, one would think that there is going to be a happy ending here and now, now that my parents were in Philadelphia and were able to get the van and trailor back. Let me add here that it was a long and hard day for my parents, the girls, the staff at Stitches, the staff at Yarn Lady and myself. I want to start off by saying THANK YOU to all those who were helping me today. I could not keep calm while in California without all of the love and support.

My parents picked up the van and trailor from a yard (not sure if it was the police impound yard or not). They noticed that the drivers side window was smashed in, the only way to start the van was to use a screw driver, there is some red paint on the trailor (looks like someone hit them or they hit something) and all the luggage was still missing. Besides all that, everything else was still there. The only bad part is that my parents still have no clothes to change into. At this point, they have been wearing the same clothes that they traveled there in which was now four days ago. I told them to get some new clothes and they said when this was all over they would. Right now, they needed to get out of the area and to a safer location. Besides all the clothes now being gone, some product that I had sent with them and all the knitted samples were also now gone. I figure its a blessing that those are they only things missing. My concern was for my parents.

My father is now driving their van and trailor in tow and my mother if following behind with the rental van and now they are heading back up to Baltimore. Wait, the saga doesnt end here. Trust me, it only gets worse!

Stay tuned!
