Well, you made me aware of some things I did not know. Although I figured SOME calls would be made, and word would spread, I did not know people spent the hours they did in contacting people to make them aware.

You bring up some good points. I will have to admit, I feel guilty as hell.

On Dec. 2, 2003 I lost my job. NOT a sob story and not looking for 'poor me'. My point is, I would go to whatever lengths I could in order to see that these guys/gals were caught.

I guess what I am trying to say is, although I do not have the monitary support at this time (watching every dime I have and putting it where it needs to go rather than where I would like it to go), I just want Jeff especially, and everyone else for that matter, to know that my heart is with them. I will do whatever I can in a physical way to support and aid to the prevention of this in the future and catching the trash that did this.

I have no clue who Jeff is although I have heard the name before. It makes no difference how big or small someone is, this should have never happened and should NEVER happen again to anyone, anywhere.

This country has become full of greedy people who cannot do a thing for themselves. Instead they think it is ok to take from others. This could be snakes, cars, stereos, or simply standing on a street corner begging for money MONTHS on end.

**Let me just follow that by saying there ARE people who maybe are not capable of working. There are also people that might stand with sign in hand until they get on their feet. I am referring to the ones I see here in Phx. on the SAME corner for YEARS now. If people would spend as much energy looking to improve themselves as they do taking from others they would feel allot better about themselves AND realize anyone can do it if they put their heart into it.

Anyway, now that I went off on the tangent, like I said, I just want you all (AND JEFF AND HIS WIFE ESPECIALLY) to know that I am SO VERY SORRY for this and my thoughts and support are with them 110%.

That is all I can offer at this time and hope that you know I give it with all I can!
