thieves to vandals, sad...

Wanna borrow a dog? Rentamutt

Yup.
My dogs are pretty scary. When I leave the house and know I'll be back within 20 minutes or so I don't even bother locking the door.

Yipes! did you ever let the police know about the first incident? Sounds like a pattern is developing. I wonder if you could ask them to do extra patrols for the next little while . . . apparently my MIL has had good luck with this, particularly since she is an excellent baker . . .


When I was a kid, our house used to get targeted with eggs and tp on Devil's Night, more so than other houses on our block. I always thought it was because we were one of the first Asian families in the neighborhood . . .

Eggs and tp are a pain to clean up, especially after they've congealed. But I'd rather have those than getting my bike stolen.

Thx ladies for your responses. I have indeed thought of posting a sign in the sub about the theives. It seems like they are not going away readily.

I appreciate the offer about borrowing the dog. That part is really sad in our house right now...

We have a lab. She's only five, but has recently been really sick and has a major back issue. She can't really walk even with the vets meds. I don't think a surgery would cure her either. I think the inevitable is coming.

Gentle a breed she may be, someone would never get that close to the house with her well. The big dog bark can be intimidating. The thieves showed up about the time the dog got sick and doesn't bark anymore.
