Last night I stored the scooter in the garage since it was supposed to be so cold and windy today (not much fun scootering about with 40 mile per hour winds and a windchill hovering in the low teens). However, when Randy and I prepared to leave this morning, we noticed some peculiar things:<\/p>\n
First, one of the garage windows was wide open. The second thing was that some slats to the tall wooden fence in our backyard were either missing or damaged. Randy’s best guess is that somebody tried to climb over the fence, then tried to sneak into our garage. <\/p>\n
They wouldn’t have gotten much very easily since the two cars filling most of the garage either had the “club” on the wheel, Lojack, or an alarm…or all three. The scooter was also double-locked. The only other item in there that anybody could have taken was the snowblower against the back wall…but to steal that would require moving the cars our first.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I suppose it appears to be a theft attempt. I suppose it could have been the wind (perhaps a heavy gust of wind snapped a piece of fence or caused a limb to hit the fence? We did wake up to find trash barrels rolling around the neighborhood, so that’s not unlikely). Or perhaps (and I know this is pushing it), maybe the wind coming up from under the garage door was so strong that the pressure caused the window to slide upward.<\/p>\n
No, I think we were violated. Maybe it’s time to move to rural Vermont. I wonder if Bennington is hiring?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
