It already had been a rough start to the year for Rickey Polidore Jr., who lost his father to COVID-19 about a month ago. Then he lost his pickup truck, which was stolen late Tuesday night in the Heights area, and he thought it was gone for good.
Less than 12 hours later, though, Polidore was feeling fortunate. The Houston artist also felt a special connection to his late father.
Rickey Polidore Sr. must have been looking out for his son from above, the younger Polidore said, because his 2005 Chevy Silverado â which contained his fatherâs death certificate and was in the process of being transformed into an art car â was found mostly unharmed and intact Wednesday morning near Aldine-Westfield Road. It was spotted by a trooper for the Texas Department of Public Safety, according to the Houston Police Department, and Polidore was reunited with his truck shortly thereafter.
