We're "sorry, starting new lives"

[Hum]

Two Indiana teenagers who fled their homes in a borrowed Mercedes to start "new lives" at an unknown destination were found safe nearly 1,300 miles from home.

The parents of Jordan Webb, 16, and Levi "David" Briggs, 15, confirmed to ABC News affiliate WRTV that the boys were found in Loma, Colo., today, where they were staying at the home of a friend they had met at camp. The boys traveled more than 1,000 miles after leaving their homes in Avon, Ind., on Saturday morning.

"This is amazing news and we are so thankful for everyone that has helped!" read a post on a Facebook page set up by the boys' families. "We could not have done this without the help of family/friends and social media! This is the biggest relief of our lives."

The boys sparked a frantic search by family members and Avon police after leaving notes for their parents Saturday saying they were "sorry" and "starting new lives," taking off in a Mercedes Benz for an unknown destination.

Police said the boys were last seen by their parents about 1 a.m. Saturday driving Webb's father's 2006 black Mercedes C350 with Indiana license plate 32R14, according to WRTV. Neither boy has a driver's license.

Police issued an alert in a nationwide database and family members created a Facebook and Twitter page dedicated to finding the teens. On the page, they posted information saying the boys might be headed to Colorado or New York City with "plans of changing their identities."

The boys "ditched" their cell phones and shut down their own Facebook accounts, according to their parents.

Paul Briggs, the father of David, wrote an impassioned plea for his son to come home and work things out with his parents.

"Dear David, Our world is upside down without you. We're not getting much sleep because we're always thinking about you. Come home. We'll get through whatever we have to, to get you back on track with a good future. You are worth it. I love you."

Running away always seems like a great idea at the time but it never really solves anything.

They were Gay and their parents did not approve. Fair play to the lads though.
