Random Petty Theft

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

This is so random, and so petty, I'm having trouble bringing myself to report it.

Someone is stealing the light-bulbs out of my Christmas Lights.

I shit you not. I have those big, old-school lights (they're called C-9, if you care) that have screw-in bulbs, stretched along my front fence near Davis Square. About a week ago I noticed that four in a bunch by a corner were missing. The glass wasn't broken—there were neither glass shards anywhere to be found, nor a metal remainder of a bulb-stem in the sockets. The bulbs were just gone. Then the other day I noticed another one missing, and, get this, the slack of the strand was hitched up and tucked into the fence, so that on casual glance you wouldn't see a dark gap.

WTF? Is someone just messing with me to see if I'll notice? Or are they in serious financial straights and need Christmas lights to sell to pay off their electric bill?

It would make me more sad if it wasn't so utterly strange. And I can't decide whether to report it, just to keep the statistics accurate, or totally let it slide. The total cost will be something like $4 to replace all the missing ones, though at this point I may have to wait until next year.

Still... WTF?!?
