Just went to the doctor with my mother. The initial tests were wrong. I repeat wrong. Further testing has come back clear of cancer. My mother doesn't have cancer. Thank God. The large quantity of antibodies they attributed to multiple cell myeloma are in fact due to her body fighting her psoriatic arthritis.

Wow! You sure dodged some bullets lately. I am going to predict you will have a happy Thanksgiving.

In Portland, You Can Steal Cars Over and Over—and Get Away With It. Here’s How.
Portland now ranks third among the nation’s major cities for car thefts per capita. And the number keeps rising.

Hughes and others say this all changed in 2014, when the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled in a case that has made prosecuting car thefts very, very difficult.

The case involved Jerrol Edwin Shipe, a 49-year-old former retirement home worker who was arrested in 2012 while sitting in a stolen truck in Washington County. He was convicted but appealed the verdict, claiming he didn't know it was stolen and that he had gotten the truck from "a friend named Richey."

Evidence at the scene suggested Shipe knew he was driving a stolen truck. He had bolt cutters, multiple sets of keys, and a locked case labeled—amazingly—"Crime Committing Kit." The truck had other stolen property inside. The key Shipe had been using to start the engine did not belong to the truck.

Shipe's appeal claimed that prosecutors could not prove he had "knowingly" taken possession of a stolen vehicle. Prosecutors argued that the evidence should have made it obvious to any reasonable person that the truck had been stolen.

The Oregon Court of Appeals judges ruled in Shipe's favor. Chief Appellate Judge Erika Hadlock wrote in the July 23, 2014, decision that the state was asking the court "to accept too great an inferential leap" in determining that Shipe knew the truck was stolen when he took possession of it. (Hadlock declined comment to WW on her ruling.)

It set a precedent: Carrying tools associated with car break-ins or even operating a car with the wrong key was not enough evidence to prove that someone sitting in a stolen car knew that it was hot.

Wow, Chris. Glad to hear that it wasn't cancer, although I'm sure that the arthritis is no picnic. Also glad that I didn't read this thread until today. Got to cut straight to the happy ending.
