Disappointing

Post by BradG »

I just discovered I’m missing a lawnmower, compressor and nail gun from our land off McCauleys. About $500 worth of stuff. I’ve been coming here for 40 years and living here for 6. We’ve never had an issue before and never had to lock things up. To who ever took the stuff, bring it back and leave it in the pole barn and all will be forgotten. If not I’ll certainly be older, wiser, but not happier.

Might deter/help if you described what was stolen e.g. color, brand.

It was a green Yard Man walk behind power mower from Powers a red pancake compressor and a gun both from Harbor Freight. The real loss is not the value, but my loss of innocence about our paradise.

It is disappointing, and we all may have to be more vigilant about this sort of thing although it has been relatively rare in the past. I learned pretty quick after coming out here that there were plenty of dishonest people around after I saw the way some shady contractors ripped off my mother back when she had a cottage here.
