weird vandalism

[rejaka.livejournal.com]

So...I live off of Davis Square, and this morning we noticed that someone, most likely in the middle of the night, had come up onto our porch and stolen four individual impatiens from a large pot we keep on our steps.  We know it had to have been a human, because there is no mess...the four flowers are just neatly taken out from the roots.  There are still several flowers left in the pot...the ones taken were kind of randomly chosen. 

How weird is that?  Has anyone else experienced odd little pranks like this?  Who the hell steals impatiens? Plus, the person would have had to come very close to our front window...and the livingroom light was on, so they could have easily been caught.  WTH?

Hm. I still haven't heard from Officer McCain. How speedy was your reply?

Huh. He wrote me back the very next day. I asked for the non-emergency number of the police, because I had talked to a neighbor about *very* loud music (it was loud inside my house, a block away, with my windows closed!) and he wrote back and gave me the number and asked the address of the house in question. Maybe your situation is more complicated and harder for him to write back to? maybe he's on summer vacation?

I got a message from him last night. I'm going to try to connect over the weekend. Thanks again for the address.
