In all seriousness, I am always amazed at someone taking something that does not belong to them.

Love this idea.

Definitely something I can't post here, but thanks for asking.

If anybody wants the other piece, it's yours, or it goes out with the trash.PM me. I have a general idea who took it, just not worth the effort to confront him.

Oh, yes it would be.....

The astro turf thief and nozzle thief has moved on to stealing light post address cross bars. He hit my house. The 6.99 bar bothers me less than the address bar which he took with it. Certainly not enough scrap to steal. You can buy them on Amazon if you really need one.

I got it, people take these when they move as it is easier than removing the personalized address plate. But seven bucks, how do people come it think this way?

It's all in their upbringing.

Eh - not really. In fact, not at all. If that were true, then there would be no criminals that come from "god-loving god-fearing law-abiding hard-working christian homes."

If that were true, ALL criminals would come from anarchist homes where the parents have no respect for the law and bring their kids up to do whatever they want, with only natural consequences.

And yet - there are criminals from the first, and there are law-abiding kids who grow up to be law-abiding adults from the second.

Upbringing has an impact - but it's not the deciding factor.
