Thieves

So, I waited a week to post this because I wanted to be calmer. Last Friday, I got Aubrey in the car to go to daycare and got in the drivers seat and looked out the front windshield and noticed something wasn't right...The 13' red trailer that had a John Deere mower with bagging system and a small trash trailer (pulled by the JD) was missing (actually GONE!). Before I jumped to conclusions about someone stealing it, I made a few phone calls to make sure someone else with a key hadn't taken it. I should have jumped to the conclusion. At some point during the evening, a sorry excuse for a human being backed their truck up the the trailer, cut the lock (the dead give away it was locked was me calling the other people that have a key) and hauled tail.

I called the police to file the report and get the serial numbers in NCIC just in case they were stupid enough to try an pawn them which is highly unlikely since they are too big and worth too much. I am sure they will be sold to someone for a steal of a deal. I was able to joke with the officer about him not taking an impression of the tire to take back to the crime lab and have the computer tell him the make of tire and which vehicles use that specific tire or him not checking the satellite images from over night to see what vehicle and who took it. I fully expected to have them arrested before nightfall. I guess all that technology hasn't made it to the real world.

Since it was been a week now, I am pretty sure they didn't just borrow it and aren't planning on bringing it back.

The only good news is that I had finished cutting the grass. I guess I will have to come up with plan B in about 3 or 4 more days or I can let the weeds take over and put a sign in my front yard that the weeds aren't being cut because a worthless excuse of a human being stole the lawn mower and I am waiting on them to come cut it. I failed to mention that it wasn't even my lawn mower. It was my father's. I was using his because he had the rear bagging system and my yard was a disaster. So they were able to inconvenience not just one person but two.

To Summerize:

Last Friday Sucked
Out over $4k
Locks are still for honest people
A thief is a sorry, no good excuse of human being

What I Hope For:

The lawn mower breaks down and can't be fixed
The trailer has two flat tires or the wheels come completely off
Somebody runs into the back of the trailer and totals it and the vehicle pulling it
Justice

Keep your eye out for this trailer in red



And this lawn mover with a rear bagging system
