These few days were a blur...trying to get past it and regroup.
Kept searching on craigslist and ebay, nothing new.
Greg started getting phone calls from news reporters. He was interviewed on the phone by Danya Bacchus of NBC San Diego and Susan Shroder of the Union Tribune.
Danya did a live report on Wednesday night...(video doesn't seem to work anymore, but the write-up is there)

and Susan did an online article Thursday which was also in Friday's paper...

It was really great that these two ladies reported on what happened. It got the story out there, with pictures, and has now heightened the awareness of this type of crime in the area. In fact, Susan said she is interested in doing another piece on just that!
So good things come from what has happened.
On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, we headed north in the Jeep...and Greg's brother headed south with the bicycle we could borrow. Not the most ideal day to drive! Took us about 7 hours going up! Met up, got the bike, and headed "home". Only took 4 and a half hours going back, thank goodness!
So grateful his brother did this for Greg.
The plan was to ride on Thanksgiving...not your traditional celebration! But for us, it was important to get back in the saddle again!
