Hi,
I'm kind of new to this forum, so forgive me if this is the wrong place for my post.
I live in a suburban part of Iowa, alone (well, with my dog). My home is an old colonial, two floors and basement on about 3/4 an acre. I am the owner.
My neighbor decided to rent his/her house out when they moved away from Iowa to Florida. The renters are two young men that routinely have parties in the backyard. Nothing that big of a nuisance; I was young once and understand that people behave in certain manners -- girls, booze, smoke, etc. I get it, I lived through the 60s and 70s so I won't judge them for that behavior as long as it stays over the fence.
I keep a gazeebo in my backyard. Or at least I did. Yesterday morning I was walking out to the gazeebo with my morning tea and the gazeebo was gone. GONE. The only thing left wast booted foot prints and a crack in my fence to the neighbors yard. I looked over the fence and found an exact match of my gazeebo in my neighbors yard.
So, i went to the neighbors home and inquired. Of course the two young men living in the rented house next to me answered their door in underwear, reaking of booze, and asked what is the problem. I told them that i had some bad news, to which they replied "Well, bad news is bad, eh?". Yes, well my gazeebo is missing and wht complicates the matter is there is an identical gazeebo now sitting in your backyard.
One of them said "Well, Ms. Liza1948, we have always admired your gazeebo from afar and wished to get one just like yours.' To which I replied "So, you bought your own gazeebo, and did not steal mine?' They said something to the effect they need not listen to such accusations in their underwear and shut the door.
The constables came. I think the constables are inept, as they returned to my home after inspecting the situation and told me the gentlemen have a legitimate alibi. Apparently the person's name is Mr. Herm E. Teowitsch and lives in an abandoned home down by the tracks.
so, I am thinking this evening after dusk I will sneak over the fence, tie a rope to the base of the gazeebo with the other end to my Mustang, gun the throttle and drag the gazeebo right back in to my yard. I suppose nothing will go wrong.
Any thoughts?
