Just a short note. Yesterday morning Danny came running upstairs and then quickly back down. It was odd so I followed him. There were two young guys stealing the basketball net that our neighbors put up. They had stayed outside all day struggling and sweating with their grand-kids to put it together and fill the bottom with LOTS of sand. These guys were just (quickly) trying to load it up and take it.
So Danny was getting dressed and I was standing there looking straight at them(across the street) recording the whole thing. They finally got it in the back of the truck and started to drive off. The guy in the back finally saw me and and I waved and asked them if they'd had a good time doing that.
Then we called the cops. After the cops came and the old man across the street said he didn't want to fool with pressing charges we let it go. We had done all we could do. But the cop decided to make one drive around the neighborhood just to make sure he didn't see the truck or goal. So he left but was back in a few minutes saying he had found it! We were so happy and Danny went to help them bring it home! It was a good ending to a crappy story! I'm glad!
