NOW THAT IS LOW
After arriving home from Iraq, Lance Cpl. Lenard Watson of Visalia wanted to see his mom, sleep in a bed with pillows and drive around in his Jeep.

But two days after 19-year-old Watson returned home from his nine-month deployment, his white 1987 Jeep was stolen.

"It just seems so unfair because of where he's been and what he was doing," Linda Klein, Watson's mother, said...

Watson admits that losing his Jeep seems minor compared to what he has seen in Iraq. However, he did want to drive it.

"I'd like the guys that stole it to know that they just stole the most prized possession from a young man that just spent nine months fighting and suffering for their freedom," Klein said.
