I know this sounds odd but here you go,

We wheeled at Callalantee in Mt City TN last weekend. It snowed quite a bit, Well he was playing in the parking area with a little matchbox snow plow, well it got lost in the snow in the parking lot, I think he lost it on the hill up toward the top, near the atv tracks on the hill.

This is his prize truck and he was upset the rest of the day, because his little brother is the one who lost it.

If anyone is in the parking lot and happins to find I will pay to have it shipped to me. This is just a $2 matchbox truck, we have looked else where for one with no luck as of yet. His grandmother gave it to him.

I know this is a long shot and sounds silly but hey its worth a shot. If you happin apon it.

I wish you luck! I can feel his pain from here.

Why dont you pm me your address and I'll put a little something in the mail for him, from an anonymous Matchbox collector to a newby. I dont have any snow plows, but I have something he would surely like. Plus, getting a matchbox in the mail will help take his mind off of the lost truck...maybe..lol

Send me an addy.
 
PM me his addy, too...got a few laying around here. No snowplow, though. Maybe before this is over, he'll be swamped in new matchboxes. And you'll cuss us all as you trip over them. :)
 
So thats what you were looking for. Wish you would have let me know, the snow was gone yesterday and I would have been happy to look.

Thanks, for the offers, This just one of those things that a six year goes through. He couldn't even look us in the eye on the way out, He was pretty upset, So I am sure this will knock his socks off.

Oh the days when something like this could ruin your weekend.

Pm sent

And thanks again

Yeah didn't want to hold everyone up any more than we allready did, We looked really hard, But with the snow it was next to impossible to see it. Oh course he could have dropped it anywhere in the parking area. I know he had when we were over there talking with Adams parents and then he went up to the hill and that when it went missing.

The things we do for our children :lol:
 
Geting allot of PMs

Just wanted to say thanks again,

I just can't believe how everyone has offered help, Just really goes to show the type of people that are on this board.

Just didn't want this to get out hand, My children have allot more than most so please don't purchase anything and send it. I would rather you help a family that needs it more than us. Again thats not what I intended to come out of this thread.

Again thanks.
 
Man I wish I had seen this earlier, I would have just bought the one on Ebay and sent it to him from Santa. I just don't have the money now. I feel bad for the little guy seeing as my 4yr old LOVES cars especially the jeeps and he gets upset when he can't find one in the house let alone outside.

His grandmother found one and is giving it to him at Christmas, So thanks for the offer.

Thanks to everyone for all the help. Just the reaction I got from my wife when I told her the response I got when I posted this thread, Really wasn't expecting this, I was kinda doing the ol shot in the dark idea, Just hoping someone would see it laying around. Just goes to show how the people on this board are willing to do what they can to help out.

Thanks again
