    Visited an ex boss of mine yesterday, he ran an used car lot and came after school work on the cars he bought doing the simple stuff doing this. Good thing he supplied the tools and I put them back after use. He always checked for this before I left for home. I still remember my last day at age 18 before I left for Marines boot camp, told me good luck and would work on them during my leaves. He helped me out big time when I got out after getting raped, he gave me a job doing the same thing and was there for support. He closed down in 2008 retiring handing it to his son. His son passed 2 weeks ago and came in seeing he was cleaning it up, said he was getting it cleaned out to sell it. I walked over to the two tool boxes opening the drawers and brought back memories. Seen me do it, said they are mine and I thought that was cool of him. Knew I made sure every tool was put back in. Came back with my truck and trailer loading them up, took them home. Was mostly Craftsman, SK, older Husky and Bonney. in Craftsman toolboxes. Every tool is there still.

    He understood the rape and was mad this happened to me. He lost a daughter whom was raped and then murdered whom was 22 years old. Luckily he got justice for that. Said I was good at it too. He threw out a lot of junk and outside is next which is not that much

    I am sorry. Rape is is such a horrible crime. Murder is too. As a citizen, I try to be watchful for potential crimes like this. I would certainly give me all to stop them.

    I hope your husband is recovering well

    I have invested in tools for vehicle repair in the last year. Some from the weekend market or just finding them in junk cars we aquire. Getting better at cleaning them and properly returning the tools where they belong. We essentially are privately owned and operated.
