    Someone stole my lawn mower

    I let the dog out the back door this afternoon and noticed the tarp I keep my lawn mower under was looking awfully flat. No mower. I brought the dog back in, so livid that when I slammed the back door the walls shook and knocked a picture frame off. Cursing to myself I swept it up and took the dust pan out to the trash can. When I rounded the corner outside I noticed something shocking...

    A nice, short, freshly mown front lawn.

    Nice of them to mow my grass before they made off with it.

    Scratching my head. Atleast I know what the dog was carrying on about a few hours ago now.

    How bizarre.

    At least you sort of got paid for the mower, somewhat.

    Re: Someone stole my lawn mower

    Any chance that someone you know borrowed the mower and cut the front so as not to inconvenience you? It seems very strange for them to have taken the time to mow some of your lawn not knowing if/when someone might return and catch them. That would be incredibly brazen. I'd make a few calls just to check.

    Nope. No one I know has borrowed it. I even called my ex to check with him lol

    It is very very strange. That's for sure.

    Wish they would have done the back too.

    On the bright side... it was a cheapie push mower. So there's that. Guess I will have to get a bike lock when I get around to replacing it.

    That's very odd.

    My friend's house was broken into, the guy took a shower, shaved, made a sandwich, changed into my friend's husband's best suit and left. Hopefully for a job interview or something.

    WoW, that was brazen! Can't help but laugh, be amazed and perplexed all at the same time.

    That's wild, I had a guy steal the sprayer off my garden hose out front when I had to go out back to the shed for some brushkiller
