It's never dull in my neighborhood. We have had a real mystery on our hands. (Ok, prepare for some serious mocking ahead). Recall my recent post about how this is municipal Clean-up week where you can put all your crap and garbage on your front lawn and it will disappear. Scavengers have been in their glory. Whatever is left behind the town will pick up for disposal.
So apparently I have a genius on my street. A vacant house has been under renovation for awhile. When I say awhile, I mean it. There has been scaffolding up for over 2 years. This guy shows up about once a month and does adds another strip of siding. Not kidding! About 2 weeks ago he put an old claw foot bathtub on the front lawn.
Do you see where this is headed yet?? At some point between Monday evening and Tuesday morning it disappeared. Those old things are valuable and in high demand so no surprise, right? Then later in the day the police are knocking on my door - interviewing all the neighbors about the missing tub.
LOL. This dude called the police and reported his tub stolen. Apparently he said he wasn't throwing it out (although he put it with the rest of his garbage pile). And THEN today he put this on his front lawn
You really have to wonder!! :)
I have four at least on the property. The things must weight 500 pounds, so whom ever took it must be freaking strong.
ReplyDeleteI know it is your favorite week of the year...Not! :) I hope the guy finds his bathtub.
So funny he is lucky his staging didn't go missing.
ReplyDeleteCathy
LOL! That's so awesomely funny!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is real entertainment! Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat planet does this dude live on that he thought leaving that out near the pick-up was a safe place to keep it? That would be taken from the front yard on ANY day in my neighborhood... lol!
ReplyDeleteOh no! More bulk trash drama! What was he thinking??? or maybe NOT!
ReplyDeleteSome towns in our area no longer have bulk pickup because of such incidents, plus the blocking of streets while the scavengers load their treasures. It created mass mayhem.
Now we have to take our bulk items to a collection site.
Good luck and make sure you don't leave any much loved lawn ornaments outside!
That's classic!! Coincidentally, we are redoing one of our bathrooms and today I called for special pickup of the toilet we ripped out. Maybe I should set up a video camera on my lawn!?
ReplyDeleteSo basically you are saying that you don't keep tubs on your lawn? He was clearly going to get some flowers to plant in it for the summer! ;) Hope he puts a toilet out next (remember THAT random from last summer)
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Does he think that by putting this ugly sign next to his house, someone will return his 500 lbs tub? Lucky you for living next door to this guy...
ReplyDeleteHave a clean , happy weekend.
Hugs,
JB
Morning Kim, to funny but guess not for the dude, Francine.

ReplyDeleteJust wow...
ReplyDeleteSomeone should leave a note saying they'll return it when finishes the siding. I watch a lot of Rehab Addict on HGTV and she's always finding junk for free. I'm not saying she took it....but she just put a claw foot tub in on a recent show...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteAnd now he can collect the insurance money for a replacement and do the bathroom in cheap and be money ahead. Have to call police for a report for the insurance.
