Oh no, it and a bunch of other items I fear are gone for good.  It 
appears that drug dealers, so I am told, love backpacks, not to 
mention the additional items I had in mine; a Victor Stream, cell 
phone with Mobile Speaks, spare cane and canvas holster, CD/radio 
with a CD from a book checked out from the State Library, and a few 
less valuable items, but just as important, such as my W2 Form.

Luckily my purse wasn't in the backpack, nor any credit 
cards.  However, I do miss my Victor Stream and the at least four 
cards I had in the case.

Thank you for your prayers.

Jackie
