Why is it dishonest people always want what someone else owns and don't think a thing about stealing it, in broad daylight yet. Got home from work today and found our gate at the bottom of our stairs open, this leads to the backyard area, not to mention I found our metal storage building door open, missing from out of our building was our $400 Stihl chainsaw.
We just happened to be outside using it yesterday in the front yard for all to see when at 3 different times yesterday a total of 3 thugs just happened to be cutting through our street to go to another street. Our street is always a cut through, either by car or on foot.
They didn't do it overnight or early this morning. I was outside standing just above that very gate this morning talking to this neighbors cat who was in my azaleas smelling the leaves and flowers. The gate was closed and so was the building.
And my husband went down through there sometime during the day before work but didn't open the door to the metal building. The gate and building were both closed then. He left for work about two hours before I get home so it occurred between that time, and in broad daylight yet, with neighbors on both sides of us and directly across the street.
I'd like to know how someone can go down into your backyard and into your metal building and come back up out of your backyard and up your driveway or across your yard carrying your chainsaw and not be seen. And not one person saw anything, not either neighbor right across the street or on either side of us. What good does having a neighborhood watch do???
I was going to notify the president of our neighborhood association of it but they have a unlisted phone number, interesting. But since he lives right across the street maybe I can catch him in the morning as he usually is starting up his truck around near the time I get ready to leave.
I just had to vent.
