No Trespassing

<address> It all started about six months after we moved into the house we're living in now. I came home one evening, to find my patio table, which is in my fenced in backyard, SMASHED into a million little peices. Who would do such a thing? Glass everywhere ~ what a mess! This was the first of "the incidents". This happend last November.</address><address> December rolls around, and I put up a TON of Christmas lights!! I had extention cords Galore! I was trying to out do my neighbor...I did! I probably had about 6 extention cords out there so that I could light everything up. Well, I come home from work one evening, and I go to plug in my lights...Isn't that a son of a gun...I CAN"T ...someone unplugged all my extention cords, and took them! This was incident number two. (and no, it wasn't the neighbor!)</address><address> A week later, my boyfriend had left his bike on the back porch, which is fenced in, instead of locking it up in the utility room. And you guessed it, somebody stole it! Who the hell was coming into my fenced in yard and doing all this horrible stuff? We didn't have a clue. We didn't really know any neighbors at the time, but we were on friendly terms with them. We don't have any enemies, we kind of keep to ourselves...it was just the weirdest thing. I look back now, and wonder why the hell I didn't call the cops??</address><address> Well, after incident number three, we went and bought a security camera. We told NO ONE that we bought this. Ever since we installed that camera, not one thing has happend! Nothing missing, nothing broken, NOTHING! I just can't figure it out. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy that nobody is messing with my house anymore, but in a way, I really wanted to catch this person! I don't know what I would have done anyway...Oh yes I do, I would tell my boyfriend, and he would 'fix' it! LOL!! </address>

How terrible! I can't believe what some people will do. We've had our share of stuff here too (not for a while thankfully). Someone stole a tricycle right before Christmas (maybe they were Christmas shopping), someone has broken the window of our car (nothing was kept in it worth stealing), someone has pried open where the gas goes (but couldn't get any out because we have a locked on once you open the door you have to have a key to open it). We don't even live in the worst neighborhood in town. There are a few bad nuts wherever you go.

I definitely think that we need to teach our young people the concept of private property rights! Glad to see that the camera does its job. We have one of those motion detector lights for the backyard -- mostly it just shines on a passing cat. We sure miss having a dog -- even though she'd sometimes just bark at a passing leaf! Hope they find and punish the perpetrators. Maybe a neighborhood watch program would help, too. Have a calm and peaceful week!
