Gall and Nerve

You know somebody is bold when they steal from the Mayor. I am fired up right now! I just got home from my third night in a row of being at Town Hall until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. I went by my parents' house and my dad said, 'Did you know your chime was missing?' I asked him, 'Didn't you take my adirondak chairs?' Apparently, he didn't. I figured he'd taken them to power wash them. I was wrong.

Someone, between Friday morning of last week and Tuesday morning of this week, came to my house and took my two adirondak chairs and the wind chime my father made for me eight years ago. I have to tell you...I am stunned. What in the world would someone want with my two old adirondak chairs that have no value except to me? The wood isn't worth anything. The chimes were though - they were made of copper. Yet, they left both of my air conditioners! WHAT IN THE WORLD? I'm so frustrated...I don't understand what in the world someone would think of in doing this...if you need firewood that bad, call me - I'll GIVE it to you!

I have to say, though...our Town police came right away. I called and reported the theft and asked for an officer to come to check things out...and they were awesome. I have to tell you...I have some serious love for our police force. These folks work really hard for us...and they work hard for you, too. This is the first time I've ever had to call on them for issues at home - and I sure am glad I can. Keep up the good work.

And to whoever stole my chairs - I hope you get a splinter.
