Yep, I'm sure you did. But he's one of those guys you see, but then he slips away and you don't know whether it was a man, a ghost or your mind playing tricks on you. LOL

OK, it lasted 8 days. Not bad. Came home very late last night, and there were just two vertical poles sticking out of the ground. This morning while driving to work, I spotted the sign in the street several houses down. Someone may have walked it to that point, but I think it more likely that it was thrown from a car after the bandit got a whiff of the smell or felt the jelly.

Will replace and regrease soon. Camera and video capture device both are en route, so we hopefully will have the web cam up and running shortly.

Hide and watch, wait and see!

This thread is better than watching back to back episodes of 24!

That would indicate a repeat customer who wanted to be sure you didn't just put it up again.

I would say they missed the smell till they got it in the car. They won't be getting that out of the upholstery easily.

Been even better with a set of skidmarks and a pile of broken glass and plastic just beyond it.

Check with the local dry cleaners for anyone turning stinky clothes and a gel stain that will not wash out!

Smile Perhaps a change of tactics

A local idiot tried to steal a "Confederate Flag" from someone's yard. The pole collapsed and landed across some power lines making instant Krispy Kritter of the perp.

...or the sanitation workers for extra-stinky trash on or near your street.

Camera just arrived. I don't know if I can set it up tonight, but I'll try. I think I'm going to need an extension cord, but we'll see . . .

I have to go to Miami tomorrow, so I won't get to set it up until the weekend. Plus, we have company, so it may take more time than that.

I only have this camera for a 3-week loan, so I won't delay beyond our guests' departure on Sunday.

PM inbound.
