“Is life’s span so dear and are home comforts so engrossing as to be purchased with my unfaithfulness and dry-eyed prayerlessness? At the final bar of God, shall the perishing millions accuse me of materialism coated with a few scripture verses? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me revival in my soul and in my church and in my nation…" —Leonard Ravenhill
South Precinct detectives say two men cut the chain on a trailer parked in the 4800 block of Briarwood Drive and attached it to their pickup truck. They drove off with the trailer about 2 p.m. on Jan. 7, taking with them a train set, large enough to carry passengers, that was built by the owner.
The truck was believed to be a Chevy Silverado, and the suspects were white men in their 20s with short hair and medium builds. Anyone with information is asked to call South Precinct detectives at 862-7763.
Looks like a 7 1/4″-7 1/2″ gauge live steam walking beam “puffer billy” with engineer’s gon, flatcar and caboose, I’m sure the owner would greatly appreciate its return. I imagine the two sprites who made off with it were expecting a contractor’s cache of tools inside the trailer and not this.
