The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[Cynthia12]

I clean my church once a month. Last month I pulled into the parking lot to clean and there was an enormous pile of trash dumped all around the back door. Talk about confused?? Then I realized that someone had stolen the trashcan. Seriously? I'd like to meet the idiot that thought he'd sneak one past God! Boy, I hope he REALLY NEEDED that trashcan.

LOL..love this! They best need it!

Wow, ya'll have been busy. I can't keep up with this thread!

I got the new fan installed in the incubator tonight. A batch of eggs have been ordered and the girls have been busy contributing to the egg stash for setting on Sat. So I'm all ready to go!

Maybe someone will bring it back? Could it have been someone that knows you sell eggs..and thought it was their turn? Let's hope they bring it back. Good vibes in someone bringing it back. Yep.

Oooohh I have a story for that one too! A few Christmas' ago I had Santa, Sleigh and 8 Reindeer Wooden Hand Painted near life sized lawn decorations. Woke up one morning and a reindeer was missing. I was sooo angry. DH has a little brother, and figuring it was a teen prank we sent the word out that my deer better be returned, and no questions will be asked. Yeah right, you say?? About a month later we pulled into our driveway late one night, and lo and behold my reindeer was leaning up against one of our pine trees. I still can't believe it. So, maybe you will get your cooler back, it's certainly possible.

It must be in the air. Last night my porch light burned out. I keep it on at night, but if I go out on the porch I turn it off. Harder for someone to see you sitting there with it off. I walked in and flipped it on and it when out. I was already inside, so I gave it a few minutes and went back out to change it with a screwdriver in my hand and didn't need the screwdriver. Someone had taken the cover. Really???? I little class cover they could even walk the 3 blocks to HD to get for like 3 bucks????? I've even had to put notes on my recycling container that says "No there's not glass, plastic or aluminum! Yard waste only!" They'll still dump it out to look. People just can't keep their dang hands off of things that don't belong to them. Oh and I wish I hadn't taken that cover down last week and cleaned it. I would have felt a little better if it was still filled with dead bugs.

Heck I would have tossed in some chicken and rabbit poop. There's no way someone didn't see someone come on my porch and take it. But why?? Funny thing is I was going to so see if I could find a prettier one. Screw that! I'm getting and even uglier one now. LOL

Arielle I'm sorry about your cooler. Ya know, it's so nice when people can do what you've been doing and people are honest enough to just pick up and leave money. Then you get some lowlife that does something like that. Really sucks!

x2!

One of my cousin's kids had her bike stolen last year. She didn't seem too bothered about it, though. Her words were something like, "Well, the joke's on them! The brakes don't even work."

I went to meet someone buying hatching eggs, then went to the library and on the way in the drive planned to pick up the egg cooler --I bring them in each night when it is cold to prevent frozen eggs. The cooler was GONE !!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently someone stole my egg cooler and the eggs,

I've been putting out eggs for a year and a half with no problems. I can't afford another cooler like that one, and my nice money container . . . . . IT was all worth, what?, $20 for eggs and cooler? I really am so upset.

I can replace the eggs, but not the cooler.

Is it a regular cooler - like an igloo or something? I may have a few extra in the garage... whre in MA are you ??? I am near concord NH - PM me if you are close... although with gas prices, you may be better off buying one....

Maybe it will turn up....

my sheep disappeared in the philippines, not too many sheep in those parts, we spread the word that it was unique and when it was sold, the culprit would be busted. 2 morning later we found it hod tied on our side of the gate

This is way I love BYCers!!!!!

Writting a novel tonight. Made me think of the first time I had something stolen.


When I was 15 I bought a 63 Impala and my best friend and my cousin and I worked on it. I was going to take my driver's test in it when it was all done. It had sat in a garage of a lady who's husband had died and she never drove it, so she sold it to me for a 100 bucks. I reupholstered the whole inside (I had lots of lowriders starting with that one) and we detailed it, I put new rims and tires on it. I spent every cent I didn't spend on my clothes on that car. I had 6 more months to be able to drive it. Did the oil, tuned it, the works. It was a sharp car! I just couldn't wait to drive it. I could start it up, but that was it. It was like having a big radio for us girls.

I lived in East Oakland and went to school in North Oakland. When I would get off my 3rd bus home everyday, there was a family that lived in a duplex at the corner and they had teenaged sons and there was an uncle in his 20's. The teenagers were always really nice and always polite. The uncle would whisle and howl and act like an animal. Couldn't stand him and never talked to him. So one friday I was walking passed and he yells "HEY! You wanna go to a club with me this weekend." I turned around and said "No thanks, besides I can't get in. So he asked why not and I told him I was 15, so I got this shocked "15??? I thought you were like 21. You're not coming from work?" OK I had a big crush on his nephew who knew I was 15, so don't know where he got that. So later I made my nightly walk to the corner store for my mom and he says "You're to young to be out at night alone." uck Like he was concerned about the little girl down the street.

So Saturday night comes and it was after midnight and my mom comes busting into my room. We had 2 25 ft lines on our phone, so she's talking on the phone and tells us, "Someone is stealing your car!" Police are on the phone and she blocks us, so 3 girls don't go out to stop a car thief. We all finally run to the front window and my car is gone! We lived on a steep hill and they just rolled it down hill. The police showed up and were all over. My car was parked a block away from the bottom of the hill and they didn't find the thief, but my mom had seen him. The uncle wore his belt backwards and rarily wore a shirt. So we let them know who it was and there was nothing they could do. I was so mad, because there was no way I could get my car home.

Monday, I get off the bus and I hear the uncle's voice behind me. "So someone stole your car huh? Did you find it?" I usually never looked at him, but I turned around just to see what his expression would be. I started to laugh and he got this "what's wrong with you?" look. I said "Yes, we found it. Had to be the dumbest car thief in the world!" Still laughing and he was looking a little peeved and so he asks real sharp "YEAH? Why is that??" I said "cause a good one would have made sure there was a battery." He looked almost sick and his friends that were there were cracking up. One says "YEP! Real stupid!" and they all cracked up, except Mr. No Shirt. Then I said "And they broke the window to get in and it wasn't locked." His friend were literally rolling on the porch. He got mad and walked into the house. Yep it was him.

Two days before it was stolen my mom's battery had died in her station wagon and she had to get to work, so I took her's out and put my battery in her car. I ended up selling the car, because I didn't have the money to tow it back and the hill was to steep to push it. I ended up with a 57 Bel Aire as my first car instead.
