A recent report from Kentucky’s ABC affiliate, WHAS, shares an intriguing story about Pamela Barker, a librarian from Louisville, whose GMC Acadia was stolen on November 4. In her quest to locate her car, Barker turned to social media, hoping that its distinct bumper stickers would help someone recognize it. However, her search came to an unexpected end three days later when she discovered the vehicle parked outside her home, accompanied by a handwritten note purportedly from the thief.
The note expressed remorse, stating: “Sorry about your car. I broke into your car and found your car keys and drove. I’m really sorry because I understand how hard it is not to have a car so I brought it back. Once again sorry. I know this won’t fix it but oh well. Much love for you.”
According to WHAS, the Louisville Police confirmed that the car was indeed reported stolen on November 4 and returned three days later. Barker had also retained receipts for a rental car during the time her vehicle was missing. She mentioned to the news outlet that she is less focused on identifying the thief now that her Acadia has been returned unharmed.
“I really think this person is just going through a hard time. But they brought it back so it’s all good as far as I’m concerned. They made it right,” Barker stated. She shared her feelings of joy and gratitude, remarking that she felt she could help someone in need by allowing them to use her car, which they ultimately returned.
This situation raises a question: Should there be an effort to identify and charge the individual who took the Acadia, or is this merely a case of no harm done? Share your thoughts with us..
