So is Lawing, though perhaps he’s also a little more surprised. “I don’t know how she found it,” he said. “I don’t know how you found me.” After the theft, which occurred around 2005, Lawing searched for his things. Credit cards left in the motor home were tracked to Albuquerque, where they were used at several Walmart stores and gas stations. Lawing visited each one, hoping to track down his items. He also went to swap meets in Albuquerque searching for his things. But nothing was ever recovered. Years later, Garcia stumbled upon the yard sale. She can’t remember the exact location other than it was somewhere off Barcelona SW and that the people holding the yard sale were getting rid of all the items left in the home, apparently by former renters who had left suddenly, to prepare the house for sale.
