Saturday, Chris and I went to pick up his Jetta. The salesperson said that they had forgotten to lock the car at night. Over night, someone stole the radio out of the car. The salesperson said that they would put another radio in the car. This would be another delay. Chris was upset. He needed to drive it by Monday. I remembered that I had a Pioneer car radio in my basement. Would Chris want it, instead of "any old" radio that the sales staff would have installed? Stephen would install it for his brother. Good idea. Chris told the staff person that His car deal included a radio. However, He would be willing to to swap the plates and registration costs for the missing radio. The lady agreed.
Chris took his car home without a radio. I gave him the one I had. It was brand new. It was the one with the face plate that was stolen when it was in my truck. I have since purchased a new face plate, but have also had a radio installed in my truck. My Pioneer radio is surplus. I am glad that the car raido has a new home. Now to get Stephen to install it...same as he installed mine. When this radio is installed, Chris will have excellent sound in his Jetta. I think the thief did Chris a favor.

Wow - that auto dealer really sounds negligent from everything Chris has told me. Delays and more delays, and now, a theft. I hope the new sound system works out well.

I hope so, too. We have to tackle Stephen before he goes into his drug rehabilitation program..to install the radio. He also needs to find the broken wire connected to one of my speakers in my truck. I purchased good speakers. Stephen installed them. One isn't working. I've called him back to fix it, but He hasn't gotten around to it.

Poor Chris. He finally gets a car and the radio is stolen. I'm glad that you gave him your old radio. It's just one of those freak things that happen for a reason: Chris gets his radio stolen, but gets a better radio in return. The energies are good with Chris. I'm glad to know that things are looking up, despite the hurdles it's taken to get there.
