    Somebody Stole my Lawnmower

    *************UPDATE***********

    The lawnmower has been found. The neighbor kids found it up on the bike trail about 300 yards from the house stowed under some brush. Those yellow wheels have a tendancy to stick out. The police will come and fingerprint the thing this afternoon and then I'll try to fire it up and make sure it still runs good. I'll be going out and getting a logging chain this afternoon and attachiing the grill & the mower to steel pole.




    I had my lawnmower stolen from right outside my backdoor last night. I"m totally off about it. The neighbors on both sides heard somebody back there, but one thought it was me and the other figured it was the neighbor kids messing around. I'm crossing my fingers that the cops will find it, but it had such a nice Briggs & Stratton engine on it that I doubt I'll get it back the way it was. The thieves also got into the storage shed behind the house which is owned by my landlord, but it's hard to say if they stole anything out of there. There's never been any problems around here before, but now I feel I have to chain up everything that I have out back. I'm fortunate that I still have my grill , but it's a lot heavier to move and with the chain that will soon get attached to it I'm going to make it more difficult to move. There would be a Hulk-Like rage if the grill were to disappear.l

        I had my car stolen several years back, and I was paranoid for years afterward - still am, to a degree! It's a weird, violated feeling. I hope you get your lawnmower back! (I did get my car back)

                    They broke into my wifes car in my driveway which is way into my yard. It was definately a violating feeling. Locked everything I had in the garage chained the grill to the porch and my sons gocart to the side of the house. The car had fingerprints all over it and still to this day have no heard nothing on it. They stole my wifes $2500 stereo and 2 laptops she had for work in the backseat. But then again the small town cops here never turn up anything. Sorry to hear your loss. Glad you got your mower back.
