Re: Stolen car (non)update - another idea
I don't know exactly how tracking the cell phone works but I thought I heard on the news that you can track a phone by the cell phone towers. I may not be right on this. I was so hoping that this morning I would read that the babies had been found. I am sending positive thoughts and prayers that today they will be found and be O.K.

Re: Stolen car (non)update - another idea
Does the phone have GSP? A lot of them do. If so make sure you have NOT had the phone turned off, call the police and tell themthey may be able to track the phone. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

The person may read the text messages since this does not require speaking into the phone. I recent lost my cell phone at Jewel Grocery Store when grocery shopping. Since I use my cell phone for rescue and the rescue group business, I get alot of phone calls. Well after a short period of time, one of my friends call my direct home number and told me that my cell phone was at Jewel. I did not even notice that I had lost the cell phone. I just thought that it was being a quiet night?? You see my cell phone ringer for caller I.D. is a recording of six 10 day old baby kittens screaming to be feed.

So maybe the person that took the car may get curious about all the phone calls and text messages. Maybe the person will try to read the text messages and see they are about the cats.

Re: Stolen car (non)update
Do you have photos of the cats? If so, you might take them to whatever the local police districts are called and talk personally to the officers and sgts who patrol the area. Sometimes a personal appeal does more than a written report they may or may not see depending on how busy they are etc. If they will let you post the information, please do so. A lot of police really like animals and will go out of their way to help. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Of course as soon as it was sent I thought of ways to make it better, but I just wanted to get something off quickly.

As I don't have a computer at home there is nothing that I can do, but wait to get back to work and do more. I lay my head on all of your shoulders tonight and ask that you send your furbabies spirits to be with Satch and Beatrix. And maybe one or two to sleep next to me tonight. Hideyo, I hear you. I will find them. I will get them back. And they will be okay. I feel the thread. I feel it going to them and protecting them. I feel you all.

Leslie --- Hello, My name is Leslie Nies and my car was stolen this morning at 6:30 am . I was loading up my car getting ready to drive home from a weekend at my boyfriends (he lives in Vancouver, I live in Portland) - which included overnight bag, book bag, and my two pet cats, Satchmo and Beatrix. I went inside to say goodbye and when I came back out, someone was backing my car out the driveway. The doors were unlocked, but the keys were in my pocket, so they must have hotwired it. I ran toward them yelling "hey" and "get out" and started banging on the windshield as they put it in drive. But they kept accelerating. My boyfriend was already on the phone with the police when I got back inside. Yes, they stole my car, but they also stole my cats! I can only believe that they didn't see them. It's been suggested to me by a couple of people that you might be interested in doing a story on it, and as far as I'm concerned, anything that might help me get them back is worth it. I've attached a picture of each of them, there are more on my phone, but that was in the car also. They are just the best cats and I am going out of my mind worrying about finding them now. They are both leukemia positive, which means that they have compromised

Re: Stolen car (non)update - another idea
Yes Kelly, post the numbers to the local media for Leslie and I for one will call and plead for them to run the story. I had another idea, Leslie. Why don't you place a box ad in the paper? You should put one in the lost/found section as well, but find out how much it costs to place an ad somewhere in the paper itself. When you get the salesperson on the phone, tell them your story and see if they will put someone on the phone who might find it newsworthy. I'd start with something like, "Cats with medical condition abducted in stolen car!". Offer a reward. Describe the car. Don't just write emails, keep calling the TV stations and the newspapers. Go down there if you have to. This is off the wall, but have you thought about calling your cell phone and see if someone answers? I'm just sick thinking about those sweet angels and what you and they are going through. Did you get my post about the animal communicators? You may think I'm nuts, but what can it hurt to try it? Big hugs, Nina

I have read all of your posts and printed them to go over tonight and make sure that I follow all advice.

I'll also call tomorrow those that I sent to today and send to more that I think of. Of course as soon as it was sent I thought of ways to make it better, but I just wanted to get something off quickly. I'm so exhausted, and I've had to deal with regular stuff too like a replacement driver's license (trust me, the DMV is NOT where you want to be in this deflated mood - you actually feel like you belong there) and phone and rental car and prescriptions. Too bad they had to retake my photo at the DMV and now I'll have to remember this day. If the cats weren't involved I'd just be angry. As I walked out to catch him taking the car, as I touched the car, as I know that he heard my voice, that they heard my voice, my feelings of what if, what if, are so overwhelming. But as he took it. As he took them. As he drove away with the beings that I swore to protect, that I promised them I would protect, as he took them farther, is still taking them farther as minutes go into minutes, my despair, my hyperventilation is just going and going. I don't blame myself, it is so absurd. How could I have known? I couldn't have, so I don't blame myself. But I don't know how I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing that they are out there. That it is raining and I don't know where they are. Oh, I keep forgetting to mention, I am in Portland, OR. They were taken from Vancouver, WA, I live in Portland. I don't want to take an Ambien tonight, because what if the police call, but I know that I won't sleep. As I don't have a computer at home there is nothing that I can do, but wait to get back to work and do more. I lay my head on all of your shoulders tonight and ask that you send your furbabies spirits to be with Satch and Beatrix. And maybe one or two to sleep next to me tonight. Hideyo, I hear you. I will find them. I will get them back. And they will be okay. I feel the thread. I feel it going to them and protecting them. I feel you all. I don't know anyone could do this with a child in the car. It would be even more unbearable. Anyway, on to class, no more to do tonight. Leslie --- Hello, My name is Leslie Nies and my car was stolen this morning at 6:30 am . I was loading up my car getting ready to drive home from a weekend at my boyfriends (he lives in Vancouver, I live in Portland) - which included overnight bag, book bag, and my two pet cats, Satchmo and Beatrix. I went inside to say goodbye and when I came back out, someone was backing my car out the driveway. The doors were unlocked, but the keys were in my pocket, so they must have hotwired it. I ran toward them yelling "hey" and "get out" and started banging on the windshield as they put it in drive. But they kept accelerating. My boyfriend was already on the phone with the police when I got back inside. Yes, they stole my car, but they also stole my cats! I can only believe that they didn't see them. It's been suggested to me by a couple of people that you might be interested in doing a story on it, and as far as I'm concerned, anything that might help me get them back is worth it. I've attached a picture of each of them, there are more on my phone, but that was in the car also. They are just the best cats and I am going out of my mind worrying about finding them now. They are both leukemia positive, which means that they have compromised immune systems (and why they are indoor only) and though they are currently healthy and rambunctious are on a preventive vitamin. I don't care about the car or the stuff in it, I just want my cats back. Both are microchipped, but neither have collars as they are indoor only cats. Let me tell you a little about them. Satchmo is a 6-yr old brown tabby cat. I rescued him from the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood two years ago. I started out fostering him, but ended up adotping him. When he came to me, he had a very severe kitty cold that he needed to be nursed through and immediately following that he developed corneal ulcers! After lots of love and care, he really blossomed into his personality and has a beautiful shiny coat now. Satch and I have been through a lot together and I can't stand not having been able to protect him from this. He is the kind of cat that would go up and greet a pit bull. He is 13 lbs of muscle and all heart. He knows his name and he is a big talker! And a big eater! I just decided to adopt Satchmo a buddy not too long ago
