EverythingCenla 
I’m glad they found the car. My car was stolen from my house and was found in Bossier City with the towing charge and state fee (I filed a report too) I couldn’t afford to go get mine and lost my car. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what I have.
finance or fiance?
You are so right. It should be fiance. Thanks for alerting me.
