Found a blog post from today that says a father 14 miles away said the red truck with green splotch tried to abduct his kids. Has anybody heard anything about that?
Here's the blog, FWIW

Yes. That was reported early on but we never heard a darn thing about it since, except that LE in this case was looking for such a truck.
Something to think about.
It is not just me but other parents I have talked to.
We made sure our homes were the ones that the kids wanted to come to.
If you can't afford a lot of stuff, kids need and love to play with sand and dirt and water.
Hubby says fire, too, and that is true. Having marshmallow roasts in the evenings are hits.
Providing plastic animals and building materials in the sand is good. Hiding buried treasures in the sand is something they love as well.
Having inexpensive treats such as homemade popsicles is a hit. Lemonade with ice.
If your house is the place to be, then your child will be happy with the playmates.
Hiding stuff around with a treasure map is cheap and fun.
Water "balloons" can be made out of sponges. There are a million cheap things to do.
But really, all you have to do is provide some materials and the kids will think of a million things on their own. It's fun to watch their creative minds at work.
Love this! What cool parents you guys are!
