It's a long story so I won't go into it.. but one of our neighbors stole something from us! It's a LARGE item too.
Crazy because he's been inside our house and has done some work for us too!
Yikes.
It was a crazy morning. DH called the cops and everything. Awkward!

Oh my goodness! That's terrible. And dumb. He lives next to you, he had to know y'all would figure it out.
-
Whoa, that's crazy! I hope it gets all sorted out. Definitely awkward though. Yikes!
-
Wow! That's so awkward!! And just crazy...who does that!? I'm sorry! I hope it ends up okay
-
omgness! that's crazy! did you have solid proof it was him?
i'm missing my charm bracelet that my hubby gave me last year when i had my first pregnancy.... i am hoping i misplaced it and it wasn't the cleaning lady. ugh! i know it's not a neighbor cuz we're not that friendly with our neighbors lol.
btw, i don't mind the long story! lol.
-
That's crazy! I hope you get your stuff back and thy schmuck learns not to mess with you again!
-
Oh no! Hubby and I were just talking about putting a couch on the front porch. Hubby said it. Might get stolen, and I laughed at him. Maybe we should think twice about it!
-
That is awful. Curious about the story too!

@tequiero21: I use my mom's cleaning lady that she's had since my older sister was born. My mom is the type to leave 100 bills laying around the house, and nothing has ever been stolen, so I know I don't have to worry. It's so hard to let strangers into your house when you don't know if you can trust them!
Our handy man is my SIL's dad, so we can trust him too thank goodness. Makes life easier.

@tequiero21: Yep. DH is 100% it's his!
So basically, DH has a trailer that we had parked in the overflow parking of our community. At the end of December we received a letter from our HOA stating we needed to move it otherwise it would get towed.
DH went to check on it and it was gone! We thought it had been towed, (DH contacted the HOA and pitched a fit) but turns out it was stolen. DH reported it stolen to the police and we considered it a loss. How do you track down a 5x8 trailer, right?
So today, DH gets a call from the president of the HOA who tells us he saw that one of our neighbors just got a trailer that looks suspiciously like ours. DH's had really unique tires, bungee cords/straps and lines etched into the wood.
DH goes out to investigate, and our neighbor across the way has the trailer (filled with crap) in his driveway! We were shocked because he's our "friend." DH went and checked it out and is positive it's his. Has all the markings and DH's worn straps. However, the trailer (which isn't brand new) has a new VIN sticker on it.
I mean. There's no way to prove that it's our trailer so nothing we can do.
Our neighbor took the trailer down to FL and had it registered there at the end of Dec. (shortly after ours went mia).
DH wants to take matters into his own hands, but I made him promise not to do anything

@tequiero21: Btw. Hope you misplaced and find your bracelet! I hear cleaning people steal all the time! I have a friend whose cleaning lady stole her Cartier engagement ring!! Luckily it was insured.. but still!
-
What the hell...OMG, that's SO crazy!
-
Shady! You know it's one thing to steal from someone that you don't know but it's another thing when the person is your neighbor! Super awkward!
-
@chopsuey119: that's CRAZY! first of all, how in the world can you just get a new vin #? isn't that the purpose of a vin #? the "identity" of the car? geez! crossing fingers that the police can find some proof. maybe do fingerprint dusting inside? i mean, how would your hubby's fingerprints be in the trailer, you know?
-
@chopsuey119: ugh. i really hope she didn't. it's only a $500 bracelet, but it has more sentimental value to me.... =(
-
Did they know it was yours since it wasn't parked in front of your house? Not that it's ok to take anyone's things....
-
Geesh, I'm really sorry to hear about this. You must feel really violated. I hope you guys are able to get it back.
-
That is so ridiculous! I would knock on their door and be like "hey. nice trailer." with my eyebrows raised. Oh my!
-
WOW that is so crazy! People are nuts. I'm sorry
