Thanks for nothing
TANDI DICKEY Rusk

I wanted to extend a thank you to the person(s) who helped themselves to our lawn equipment.

Thank you for putting a huge damper on my daughters' gardening projects by taking our chipper/shredder, therefore removing their ability to make their own mulch for their flower beds.

Thank you for only taking the component weed-eater and attachments that are replaceable, leaving the two components that have been discontinued.

Thank you for leaving the equipment and tools in the same shed which for some reason were of no interest to you.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain to my six-year-old that though whoever took them could have just asked to borrow them, they probably planned on selling them even though that is wrong.

Thank you for reminding me that even though we no longer live in The Big-D, we still have to remember that crime is everywhere. I only wish you had waited a day for me to finish the yard work for this weekend.
