    To Catch Slightly Annoy A Thief

    Someone has been stealing our cigarettes. We don't smoke in our house, so we'll often leave the packs outside. The thief has been coming between midnight and 6am. More of my packs have disappeared than Jerry's, because I'm a moron that doesn't learn the first time.

    Now then. Yes, I know I shouldn't be smoking anyway . . . NOT THE POINT. It's creepy as hell knowing that someone is sneaking around your home at night looking for stuff to steal. When will the cigarettes stop being enough? When will they decide to have a look around inside??

    My first thought was to have a stakeout, and bust the klepto. Then I remembered that between midnight and 6am is really fucking early. Or really fucking late. However you look at it, I'm old; I need to sleep. So scrap that idea.

    Lucky for you, dear reader, my moron streak doesn't end at leaving smokes outside. I have to goad the criminals. I left a note on the table tonight, next to thieving asshole bait, otherwise known as an empty pack of cigarettes.

    My neighbor girl friend and I used to wait til her mom was asleep and sneak out and get her cigarettes that were left outside. She never knew it was us until in our 20's we ratted ourselves out. So I have to ask are you sure this isn't an inside job?

    This is what infrared web cams are for. I'm just sayin'. And I don't want to point out any names or anything - but it's 'their' - not 'there'. I know - I'm an asshole - but that's one of my pet peeves.

    Which brings up a question. Just what is 'peeves' the plural of? Besides things that piss me off? Well, irritate me, actually - if it really pissed me off I'd never, EVER get anything done because i would be walking around in a constant and never ending tantrum. Because people do that shit ALL THE TIME - your/you're there/their and on and on. Sorry. Didn't mean to rant.

    That was my first thought actually. THANKFULLY, we know it isn't any of our kids . . . they've been stolen a couple of times when the boys weren't even here.

    I'm still working out how to discreetly position my camera for the Sting Operation. And you know I'll be posting the footage!

    What do you feed your Peeve? :-P

    I was a little nervous typing it out but I figured you know I want to be your neighbor and BFF so you wouldn't take offense to it. I hope you catch the person just to scare them.

    Wow! If he did not get your point he's either: 1) stupid or 2) crazy.
    FYI: I bought a night vision camera on ebay for $30 to catch our neighbors in the act of vandalizing our shit. Just hook it the VCR and push Record before you go to bed. My neighbors saw the camera and haven't been back since ;) BONUS: They don't talk to us any more either. :D
