Oh jeez!

I come here for a pick-me-up, and I get to read about friends passing and theft. Well, there's always the ever-talented Tori and her artwork on display to save the moment.

I tease, of course.

It's not easy to lose someone you're close to, but I suppose that goes without saying. My boyfriend is in Florida at the moment. His grandfather, who raised him, just passed a few days ago and I know it's been really rough on the whole family. My condolences go out to you right now. Unfortunately, Christmas time will feel like this for a while. :-/

DP!
I'd be so p.o.'d right now! I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to do that. I could see if you put the pots closer to the street, but they were by your garage for crying out loud! ARGH! I'm hoping for their safe return, so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labors.

The cat has now started strafing the litterbox from about 6 feet in the air, that's the only way I describe what I just got to clean up.

Talk about timing!

I went to the bathroom, and decided to peek out the window at our garage. Lo and behold, there was our neighbor (one garage over) very hastily moving the trees from her garage to the front of ours.

So, I opened the window, and called out, "Thank you so much for returning our trees! No worries!"

Well, where I'm naive to think that people are generally good-natured, and gave her the benefit of the doubt that perhaps she pulled them inside to protect them from this morning's wind... she looked up at the window, saw me, and RAN back inside. (At which point my suspicions kicked in as to why she would bolt if it were truly an honest deed or mistake.)

So, I went outside to find only the avocado and rubber trees, both of which are not fruiting. And, to add to my suspicion of ill intent, the center support pole for the avocado was removed.

She has until Ken gets home to return the lemon tree and rosemary, then we knock on their door. I'll still be friendly... but, if they refuse to return the others or play stupid, or not answer their door at all, I'll be calling the manager to sort it out.

Why my naivety has switched to suspicion:

1) She RAN when I very jovially said, "Thanks!"
2) The avocado's pole was removed.
3) The two most valuable plants have yet to be returned, and upon glancing into their garage, are no where to be found. (Maybe they decided to make them gifts?)
4) They have seen those trees sitting outside at various times for the last two weeks, with Ken watering them.

Ken's response was, "Maybe you startled her, and she doesn't speak English." My rebuttal, "She knows enough English to have read the sign on our garage door."

So, tonight's gonna be interesting...

Can I come over?

Disneyphile · 12-09-2007, 06:45 PM

Sure, as long as you'll bring your interrogation tools.

17 minutes to go, and the other two still haven't appeared.

The clock's ticking.

(I'm actually kinda tickled pink that I saw the culprit myself.)

Well, DP, that really does suck. Lousy neighbors. I hope the others get returned, soon!

This sounds like an excellent time for another demonstration of waterboarding.

CIA Tested, Bush Approved! So, it can't be all that bad, right?

It's not even the fact that both plants still missing were about $20 combined. It's the principle of the matter.

And, if they seriously don't respond or refuse, and the manager doesn't get involved, then I'll file a police report with full description of the person I saw. It'd be a sad thing to have a police record over. So, hopefully, they'll be smart enough to return our property.

And, I've now learned to never leave our garage door open for even a minute while unloading groceries.

God only knows what she'd help herself to next.

This mess kinda makes me want to make a special holiday fruitcake laced with laxatives and leave it on their doorstep.

It was fun to see him wave hello and goodbye, I don't think I will get a cam, it will be far too scary if you see me at 6:30 am!

LOL !!!! You can wear a mask if you like !!!

Actually, I was wearing a LoT Thong too......
