After so many miles I thought you all were my friends
And I can't believe that I've been sold again.

Last seen in this security camera photo getting into a

mimic a race car. Suspect is believed to have tempted

Hadn't noticed before,ive but I guess we should give Donna a pass for misspelling "Y'all". Seems that is the accepted California spelling. Unless IL made up the cowboy sign for this picture.
