Don't Make Me Chain It Down...  |
|
I see a lot of beautiful yards around town. Complete with lawn furniture, yard decorations, plants in pots, and bird feeders. Ppl spend good money to decorate their yards and make them the way they want them. Of course you generally have your random items too…garden hose, trashcans, watering cans and such. Too many times I’ve seen where ppl have torn up these things or outright stolen them.
My oldest Brother bought two wood and metal benches (like what’s in the picture) and put them on either side of his porch. One day while he was in doing dishes a pickup truck stopped and someone jumped out, grabbed a bench and jumped back in the truck. His bench was long gone by the time he got outside. It’s terrible that ppl would do something like that.
Now, ages ago, a certain person I know (she won’t let me say who) went out drinking and partying and ended up stealing trash cans…complete with trash still in them. The things ppl do when they’re liquored up LOL
Have you ever had your yard items stolen? Have you ever stolen or busted up someone else’s? Would you admit to it? Why do you suppose ppl do it?

webeishere (12412) | 2 years ago | Gnome ornaments seem to be the latest fad. They are getting costly as hell and they are also being kidnapped, or should I say gnomenapped, a lot it seems as of late. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

3. cynicalandoutspoken (2314) | 2 years ago | I destroyed someones fake deer they had in their yard by accident once.
It was around 3 AM and I had just turned 14. I shouldn't have been out of the house in the first place let alone driving someones car but I was. I was coming down this long country road full of hair pin 10 MPH turns and not paying too much attention. Upon coming out of a turn I spotted a deer not 20 feet in front of me that looked like it was about to step out onto the road.
Being a young unlicensed inexperienced driver, I panicked and instead of hitting the brakes (which was foot was already on considering the hill I had just come down) I switched my foot over to the gas and stamped on it expecting to come to a complete stop. Nope. I went from 15 to 45 MPH in what felt like a second and only regained my composure after I had splinter the poor lawn ornament.
People should be forbidden from putting wild life lawn ornaments out when they live in the country. And anyone who has pink flamingos in their yard that doesn't live in FL needs to be sent to a week long decorating camp taught by Martha Stewart!

5. tyc415 (4492) | 2 years ago | One time my mother give me one of her hanging baskets that had a huge, beautiful plant in it. We hung it on the front porch and it stayed there for a long long time then one morning it was gone. I have never bothered anything in anyone's yard. I would never even think of it. I am not sure if people who do those things are just mean, jealous or think they have to have it and can't afford to go buy their own.

6. DonnaLawson (2801) | 2 years ago | I did have a rocking chair on my front porch stolen from me one day.. It had been on my porch for a long time and no one had ever bothered it.. I had used it to rock my son when he was a baby.. We went to the grocery store one day and when we came home, we went to put the groceries up and then I made a cup of coffee and went to the front porch to sit and rock for awhile.. Well, it was gone, we hadn't even noticed it when we cam in with the groceries but did when I went to sit down in it.. It broke my heart as I hoped that one day my son would be rocking his kids in it.. But some greedy, lazy good for nothing, who couldn't work and get their own rocker came and stole mine.. I can't stand a thief, can you tell.. No, I have never nor would I ever steal something from someone else's yard or home..
I also watched a tv show that showed some of the things that you mentioned.. There was a man who had been having items disappear from his garage and he put in a video camera, the thieves were caught on tape, they just nonchalently walked up to his open garage door and took his tools and left like there was nothing wrong with what they were doing.. I was so glad that he had the camera

OreoCookie3 (18658) | 2 years ago | Back when my dad was alive he sold those big satelite dishes.. you know the big ones before these little direct TV ones? Well someone stole all of his dishes and even came in the house when we were gone and stole the boxes to them too.. had to be someone that knew where dad kept them. They were in his closet.. and they were all stolen.. it's awful how brave some thieves are.

9. lilybug (15326) | 2 years ago | I have never had anything stolen off my lawn. My ex sister in law, one Christmas while we were out driving around late at night, got out of the car and went up into someones lawn and grabbed a giant decoration off of someones lawn. She ran down the street and put it in someone else's yard. Then she took something from that lawn and put it on the lawn of the person she had taken the first thing from. I am not sure what her reasoning for that was.
