FLINT TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Some dopey thieves snatched and grabbed several of Sue Austin's seven dwarfs. "I'm thinking it's just some kids," said the Flint Township resident, who is offering a "no questions asked" reward for the return of the statues.
Stolen from Austin's display are Grumpy, a 2 1/2-foot concrete statue, along with Snow White, Bashful, Sneezy and Dopey. On Sunday, following an anonymous tip to Austin, Dopey was found in a front yard in nearby Davison Township.
Each statue weighs more than 200 pounds, which might be why the thieves decided to leave behind Sleepy, Happy and Doc, The Flint Journal recently reported.
Austin said she saw a similar display about 10 years ago and liked it so much that her husband bought the statues.

Well, tomorrow is the deadline to determine whether I'm mooting or not. If they don't hear back from the regional folks by tomorrow, they're going to have to proceed without me.

However, I might be able to leverage that into something useful...if I can't moot, I could perhaps help coach. That would be less stress, but still be a contribution. And an entirely new bullet point on my resume.

That's downright crimical.

Just got home from dinner with 2 of my favorite people. Actually, dinner was over 2 hours ago, but I spent over an hour wiating for them at Chuy's. My friend GiAnna kidnapped Nickolas. When they finally showed up they had a cake and a baby rat. Like I needed another rat!! but she is uber cute. Her name is Remy. She is a black & white hooded, and so far everyone seems to be getting along well. Nickolas wanted to get her to help ease my pain of having Thud put down on Wednesday, but for the next 72 hours I have 6 rats.

He also tried to talk her into getting a bigger cage...*sigh*
