Why!?

A couple of weeks ago, my dad got a tractor stolen. For awhile we thought it was gone, out of state, or in Mexico until they found it over a week later......in the river! Honestly? Why would someone do that? For the thrill of being destructive? Apparently.
I hope they find the jerks (edited) and they rot in jail for awhile because they definately deserve it. It's not the first farmer they've hit and probably not the last. I don't have any pictures of the rescue but I'm sure it was quite a chore. They had to cut a road down to the river just to get to it and JR had to swim to it and attach a big chain to it. They pulled it out with another bigger tractor up the 8 foot drop they drove it off. I think. I missed the show, but my mom got some pictures. Maybe I'll add them later if she posts them.

Wow, I'm glad it was found. I'm not glad it was found in the river...come on people. Do they even know how much a tractor costs? That's just frusterating. So once they got it out, is it still usable?

Um no, I don't think it will be usable anymore. I think he's hoping it will get totaled out and collect the insurance.
