Quick response by sheriff's department

To the editor:

This is a letter we sent to Cape Girardeau County Sheriff John Jordan:

We would like to extend our deepest thanks and commend the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Department. Deputy Todd Stevens, Detective Sikes and Detective Buchheit pursued and detained some of the people involved in a recent asphalting scam at our home, resulting in the return of almost half our money. Without the help of these fine officers, we would have been left out in the cold. As citizens of Cape Girardeau County, we are very lucky to have a sheriff's department that cares and will respond immediately.

CECIL and VERNA VEALE, Advance, Mo.
