Seth steps away from bleak and depressing news to share a news story about how a Kansas City Mom.

How she hunted down her stolen car and stole it back.

What impact did Collins’ story have on others in her community and beyond?

In the midst of an uncertain and unsettling year, stories of kindness, perseverance, and determination have emerged as beacons of hope. One such story is that of Kansas City, Missouri resident Hettie Collins, who took matters into her own hands when her car was stolen from a gas station parking lot.

Collins, a hard-working single mother of three, had just completed a long day of work when she realized her car, a 2014 Dodge Avenger, had been taken. Panicked and frustrated, she immediately reported the theft to the police – but she didn’t stop there.

Determined to retrieve her stolen vehicle, Collins hit the streets, posting flyers around her neighborhood and reaching out to contacts on social media. She spent hours driving around, looking for any sign of her car and asking anyone she encountered if they had seen it.

After several days of searching, Collins finally got a break. A local resident spotted her car parked outside of a nearby hospital and alerted Collins to its location. Not one to wait for the authorities to take action, Collins raced to the hospital, confronted the thief, and retrieved her stolen vehicle, unharmed.

The story of Collins’ tenacity and bravery quickly went viral, with many celebrating her determination and dedication to her family’s well-being. And in a year where so much seems uncertain and out of our control, it’s these kinds of stories – of everyday people using their strength and resilience to make a positive change – that we need to hear more of.

In the face of adversity, Collins refused to give up or let someone else take control of her situation. She used her skills, her resources, and her determination to solve the problem on her own – and in doing so, inspired countless others to do the same.

As we continue to navigate the challenges of our current times, it’s stories like Hettie Collins’ that remind us of the power we all possess to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of those around us. May we all aspire to be a little more like her, standing up for ourselves and our communities in the face of adversity.
