Dealing with the car has set us behind on getting ready for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride . It has been emotionally draining, and expensive. This has been a hard lesson to learn and a crap to deal experience
We are sharing this information in hopes that others will learn from our experiences.
We have purchased a case that the fob/keys go into so no potentially accidently pushing the unlock button. Not that anything much a consumer can do when the thieves seem to have better technology than the manufacturers use…which really sucks to know.

We went and looked at the car, it wasn’t as bad as we were thinking.. Some dents, few scratches, the remote start was ripped out and inside was filthy.. It started okay, not sure if anything else was hurt. It is staying at the bodyshop to get the dent, inside cleaned and santized, remote starter fixed, keys changed. The Amazon packages were ours, but rest of the trash wasn’t..dents are hard to see in the photos..
We did find out the car had been used in some crimes.
But we’ll have the car back, unless they find more wrong (which fingers crossed they don’t).
Many hard lessons this week.. one the Starlight theater in Los Lunas is a popular place for car thefts.
Hope everyone’s weekend went well.. Been hard few days here. But we will get past it, and move on. We’ve had many supportive people and we appreciate each and everyone of you.
Our goal now is to get the word out so this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Our car has full coverage, gap, so we’ll probably be fine. But what about those that don’t?
These things shouldn’t happen, the businesses need better security, cameras..Their cameras at the theatre is very lacking, it doesn’t zoom, the cameras are ontop of the building. Better cameras we would of had an license plate, image of the person.
Our understanding (which hasn’t been confirmed) a vehicle matching the one from our video may have been the same that went to the golf course outside of Belen and shot at a security guard while trying to steal gas.Then, we know our A-Holes went to Champion Smoke Shop and tried to purchase $385.82 worth of stuff using my debit card. We had already reported the cards so the bank declined it..
Businesses need to ask for an ID, (are they culpable?) they have my ID, but I’m sure my photo doesn’t look like the person that used the card..
Since we’ve been posting the video and information we’ve had some weird dms from people, can’t say they are threatening but can’t say there not..
Becareful out there these thieves are armed, he/they have no fear stealing in board daylight, and don’t care who you are…
If you have any information contact Los Lunas or Belen Police.
Well many know we mowed yesterday. We worked almost 5 hours mowing and walked 4 miles, we aren’t done yet still few more hours ro go. Then the mowing will be done for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride . Today we worked in the studio, and just trying to keep ourselves busy.
We got a bunch of stickers that we’ll be selling in the Dusty Nail General Store
Car update :
We don’t have much for information on the car, that I can share. Today we are just trying not to talk about it. It’s just so upsetting, i would love our car back the way we left it. We are hoping to hear from the insurance tomorrow. We hope we can get a rental until we figure out everything. We have the pickup, but it has issues that prevents us from driving any distance with it.
Plus having to buy what was lost 3 5 gallon water bottles, all our shower stuff, clothes, towels (I’m glad we didn’t do laundry like we had talked about), Anne lost her Bluetooth earbuds, charger among other things. It’s all replaceable, but we shouldn’t have to..

Advocatus Diaboli has sent us a few more samples of their music. I have added them all to a video.
We thank them for allowing us to help set up their social media, website! It makes me feel good that I was asked to help!! I’m not an expert by no means, but it felt good being asked, and getting to meet, talk to such a secretive band and one of my favorites it makes it all worth while. Thank you Advocatus Diaboli!!!
We are very excited about having Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band here performing the Afterparty for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride !!

Happy Wednesday, October 4th.. is everyone ready for the end of the world today? We read that many people are wrapping their phones and other electronic devices in aluminum foil, etc, to protect themselves..
We aren’t doing anything special.. I guess if we become zombies we’ll starve as not many brains out here to eat.. and we won’t need costumes for the West Mesa Haunted Hay Ride !!

Yesterday, Brent, a couple of our friends and I went to a fall festival at a brewery in Albuquerque. During the festival they had a hat contest.. Brent got 1st place, as his prize he got flowers and few gift cards, one we used on the way home for a nice meal. Brent gave me the flowers before he ate them.. But it was a great festival and we got to meet some wonderful people!
