Sometimes bad things happen to good people

Sunday morning we got in Jason's truck and he realized that the tank was on empty, very empty. We decided we wouldnt be able to make it to church so we turned around and got my car. Meanwhile Jason came to the conclusion that someone had ciphened his tank. I thought that was a little unlikely but I was then convinced when we got out of the truck to switch cars and the gas tank cap was open and off! So we went to church a little awestruck that someone would actually do this. Anyway long story short, Monday we borrowed a neighbors gas can to fill the tank up a little so Jason could make it to the gas station. We soon realized, by the gas spilling on Jason's feet, that our little thief not only stole our gas but ruined our gas tank. Lovely.

Jason did a lot of calling around to figure out how much this would cost...not cheap. Alot more than the value of that tank of gas thats for sure (even at $4 a gallon). Well what we learned from this was that even though crappy things like this happen sometimes, it made us see how generous and willing people can be to help out.

We were very grateful for those who helped us out during this inconvenience

• our neighbors for lending us the gas can
• our mechanic who went out of his way to find a used tank which took the price down by half
• Jason's co-workers who were willing to stay a little later at work and fight worse traffic on their way home so that he could carpool.
• Caltrain :)
• Our apartment complex for throwning in this garage for free :) Kinda cute.
