Stolen Chairs

Yep, while we were on vacation someone helped themselves to 3 out of 4 patio chairs on our back patio. It's unclear what was the matter with the fourth chair. Perhaps there were only three thieves in need of comfy $15 Adirondack plastic chairs from Lowe's. Thankfully, they didn't leave me any presents in my hot tub - but I'll be sure to lock the cover when we're gone from now on. Also time to get a lock for our back gate that leads to the field -- one that doesn't rust after 3 months of Western Washington weather.

On the other hand, my neighbors suspiciously left for a vacation that week in the silver bullet that sits at the top of my driveway for 360 out of 365 days a year... ??? Maybe it's time to get a camera security system! Of course, my kids would instead prefer a German Shepherd. Not clear which is ultimately more expensive or reliable.
