I cant believe this, someone came over my house today and asked to borrow a broom. They said they lived down the street and they would bring it right back. Well the address they gave me doesnt exsist and they never returned with my broom. Can you believe someone would come up to my door and steal my broom?

That's really strange. What kind of broom was it? I think I agree with the previous response above. They could have been witches and they took the broom to fly away. Good thing they didn't ask to borrow a vacuum.

This would make me very careful, maybe the broom was only an excuse for them to see you and get a look at your place for more skulduggery. (Enjoy that word)

Wow!! This is Crazy... Coming over and asking someone if they can borrow a broom and then never bringing it back. And then they gave you a Fake address to boot. Gee, this is not Good at all, and I would be a little cautious as well just to make sure there does not end up more to this as well. But this does really make you wonder why a Broom was so important to do something like this for sure.

How many days has it been since you lost sight of your broom? lol.. Wait some days more. Maybe they just forgot where to return it as they forgot to give their right home address when they borrowed it from you. I am sure they will come back to return it. Maybe they have just transferred to that place, cleaned the area, didn't have things of their own yet, especially cleaning materials. They are not even familiar with their own address, so they must be new to the place. If they don't return it, just forget about it, it is only a broom ... be consoled with the fact that you have helped someone with it. If they return the broom, well and good but be wary ... they might be "upgrading" their borrowing stint into a vacuum cleaner! hahahaha.

I broom is a pretty strange thing to steal from someone. It is not like they cost all that much. Heck I get my brooms at the dollar store. It is horrible when people take advantage of other peoples kindness like that. Kind of ruins it for the people who really do need help.

Well that is just weird. Did you even recognize this person? I wouldn't have let someone borrow anything unless I knew them. Who doesn't have a broom anyway? Very strange thing. Perhaps it was a witch left over from Halloween?

That's too bad! Most probably they went to each house borrowing house hold items for a complete collection! But you still remember their faces, right?! One of my blog buddies mentioned that she lost her 'pink' hangers recently, which she hangs outside the house.

Hello Money. Wow that is such a cruel thing to do. That person had to have some balls to go to someones house and borrow a broom. I would never borrow a broom or mop anything that is that personal. I like the kind of broom and mop I like. What a thing to do. Seems strange to me. Hope you figure out who got it and get your broom back. Have a great day.
