I have a funny story that breaking into a Squareback reminded me of. A preacher friend told me a story about when he was going through Bible school he was really broke and was living hand to mouth. One night, in the middle of the night, he hears his Squareback start up and by the time he gets out of bed the car was gone. Stolen! So he was so disgusted that he just got back into bed and went back to sleep. The next day he looked outside and the car was back. Taped to the steering wheel was $20 and a note. The note said, "I needed to borrow your car last night. Here is $20 for your trouble and I filled the tank up for you." The note wasn't signed. He said every night after that he left it unlocked with a note on the steering wheel that said, "Borrow it anytime!" Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16 |
