Over the last 8 months or a year, we have had beer cans showing up on our front lawn in the morning.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes one; sometimes two.\u00c2\u00a0 Not every night, once or twice a week.\u00c2\u00a0 “Odd”, I say to myself.<\/p>\n
Finally, it started getting a little annoying — so, being a geek and all, I set up a camera with motion trigger software to see who was doing it.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of video of “the wind” and cats, and bugs on the window, but two night now I have caught the culprit — it’s our paper “boy”.\u00c2\u00a0 I put “boy” in quotes, because he’s old enough to drive, and could be 38 for all I know.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Some nights he drives up, throws cans on our lawn while delivering our paper and drives off.<\/p>\n
“Strange”, I have to say.<\/p>\n
We’re pursuing this — to get him off the road — I’m good with the cans…10 cents off the paper every day!<\/p>\n
But that’s not the important part.<\/p>\n
This is the only time in my entire life I have had a video camera running on the front yard … albeit at night only — but that’s when the interesting stuff happens, right?<\/p>\n
No entirely so.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometime on the weekend, someone stole the flower hook off our front lawn!\u00c2\u00a0 A big 7 foot wrought iron rod.\u00c2\u00a0 I hear you thinking — “Aha!\u00c2\u00a0 The camera caught them!”\u00c2\u00a0 NO!!!\u00c2\u00a0 Unbelievably they pinched it DURING THE DAY after I shut the camera off.<\/p>\n
So frustrating!<\/p>\n
[UPDATE!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I went for a walk and found the plant hook about 10 houses away standing on someone’s front step.\u00c2\u00a0 I assume some asshat kids took it and threw it on their lawn!\u00c2\u00a0 Well, that’s a little bit nice! ]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the last 8 months or a year, we have had beer cans showing up on our front lawn in the morning.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes one; sometimes two.\u00c2\u00a0 Not every night, once or twice a week.\u00c2\u00a0 “Odd”, I say to myself.
