Out of all of the items they could steal from us, guess what they go for? Rabbit poo.
Yep!!
And they didn't even leave us any! That's rude. They wiped us out after 5 night visits in a row. We decided to get some cameras and bust them. I mean, if stealing rabbit poo was so easy, I'm sure they think that helping themselves to the garden, garden implements, and other random things around our place would be a piece of cake too.
We are almost certain of who it is- a young man across the street. DH and I were talking at the dinner table how we'd like to go about breaking the news to them that they are busted if/when we catch it on video. Any clever ideas? The monitoring system that we are getting has an intercom function. Maybe we could say, " FREEZE! On the ground!" if we catch him in the act. Hehe.
Then we started discussing how we thought Christ would handle the situation, and how we could best imitate that. I suggested that if we catch him we will tell him that we will not call the police, but he has to work it off in our yard/garden. Kind of like purgatory in that he won't send us to hell, but we have to purify ourselves. DH thought that would be a good idea, but he doesn't want the guy around our place.

You need one of those rabbits like in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

You send that person before the JUDGE...you are violating Charity to the general society by going soft on him...and your not doing him a favor. Bust him. Ive had things stolen off my property and I can tell you it is an evil unjust act...you can forgive him...but put him before the JUDGE!

Unreal. Please tell me they have a garden. Yes, they do. Would be pretty weird if they didn't! This is the first year they've had a garden since I've lived here- also the first time we've had problems with fertilizer gone missing.

I have heard of people stealing a lot of things, but not this until now! Wow! ;-)
Did you have that much of it that the neighbors would know about it?
So sad... We had people steal things from our farm, and eventually set up a camera to figure out who was doing it...
If people don't have the morals that help them to have boundaries, then they go further and further breaking through other people's trust or belongings.

I cannot tell you how angry and violated I feel...and vulnerable...when I discover someone has stolen something. Firstly I look around like an idiot for hours even days thinking maybe I misplace the missing thing....then my blood boils. I think the muzzies got the cutting off the hand thing right.

He was foolish enough to give himself away one time by asking what that big red object was on our porch. The porch is out of site from the road, there's no way he could have known except for wandering around in our yard. Also, I catch him watching us a lot. When I look across the street I often see him dart back behind his porch. Strange behavior. One time he was asking my husband all about our house. I didn't find that too weird because our house is really old and unique. But then he asked my husband which one was the bathroom window. I slept at my MIL's house for 2 nights after than incident and have been jumpy ever since. The kid creeps me out (he's a teenager). My husband leaves for work at 9:30 p.m. and the past few nights I've heard the fertilizer barrel banging in the back yard at around 10:00. He knows when my husband leaves for work, and probably also knows that I'm too chicken to come outside at night. He would be right. I hate it when my husband leaves for work at night.

My husband could have wrote this! lol. I won't mention what my husband said his first thought was if he were to catch him here at night. The stealing is annoying, yes. But what bothers me so much is that someone is brave enough to steal things from us, and they do it at night when they know my husband is not home. What else would they be brave enough to do? You are probably right that they need to be turned in if we catch them. The cops in our small town are very lazy though, I doubt anything would happen.

Oh my gosh, that's kind of scary. Can you get a guard dog? I think I'd get my husband to report the kid to the police.
