STOLEN CAR FOUND AFTER 42 YEARS
Bob Russell said his 1967 Austin-Healey was stolen
from a Philadelphia apartment complex in 1970,
when he was a graduate student at Temple
University, and he searched for the cream-colored car
for four decades until he found it listed this year on
eBay, the Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday.
Russell, who still has the original keys and title to the
car, said he contacted the dealership selling the
vehicle and they offered to sell it back to him for $
24,000, which he found unacceptable. However, he
said Los Angeles police were unable to help him
because there was no record of the theft in the
national database.
Russell said he contacted Philadelphia police and

centre-forward in the world and is even open to including Nani in

When Giving Up Is Not An Option
There are times in our lives when it makes a whole lot of sense to
throw in the towel and just give it all up. I know because I have been
in that situation a number of times too.
You just don't find the need or the motivation to go on. You get so
depressed giving up seems to be the only option. Truth be told, this
is just an indication that time is almost up for the challenge.
You are nearer to the end than before, but the pain and the challenge
assumes an all time high it becomes highly unbearable....yet truth is
you have to hold on...
If only you could see beyond you...giving up now is as bad as crashing
few seconds to the finish line...as crazy as loosing your feet in
front of an empty net.
Giving up now that you are a few minutes to victory is not an
option...grab wise counsel.
