    Hey everyone, thanks for all the support! Yes that was Upland police that found the truck but more importantly, Leo! :) Thanks for the pics, Rod and Pancho!

    And yeah it was stolen right in front of subway across the street from Nogales HS. Literally within seconds.

    I'd like to thank each one of you for your thoughts and prayers because they worked! Leo is snoozing by me atm. It's been a long day for both of us. I feel so lucky to have everything back at the end of the day safe and sound. Truck smells like cigarettes and had bottles and saw some syringes that the officers recovered too and got a bunch of junk in the truck that i need to throw out that they also left.

    Our inlaws insurance had their car tested for meth and other junk and it tested positive, and they totaled it as it was too much to clean! Please ask yours to test the interior and professionally decontaminate it (not just a regular car detail place) if positive so you and your family are not exposed to anything.

    Also, how was it stolen? I imagine you may have left it running with AC on for Leo? Poor guy, soooo glad he’s safe!

    Very good point. If there's any fentanyl in there, its absorbed through the skin by contact. Takes very little to kill ya. Good idea to get it checked out/tested.

    Wes, this news made my day and that picture of Leo with the officer smiling at him is worth 1000 words. I would have that picture framed to remind you how fragile life is, it can also remind you what a ladies man Leo really is. :D
