Here's a pic of the statues before I loaded them in my car.
We live at the end of a cul-de-sac. So to one side of our house is only a fence, no neighbors, and on the other side of the fence is just open space. Our house also backs to open space. Just shortly after midnight last night, our doorbell rings several times. Both hubby and I freak out a little because both of our kids are away at sleepovers and of course the first thing that comes to mind is "something's wrong". He runs downstairs and opens the door while I peek out the shades in the bedroom to see if there is a car in the driveway. No car. Hubby yells up to me "are you expecting any statues?" I go downstairs to find that someone has stolen 2 cement statues and a clay pot and placed them on my porch. I'm still shaking from having the crap scared out of me but I had to laugh.
I am however, quite amazed that whoever did this was capable of ringing, running and jumping the 6 foot fence as quickly as he did without me seeing him out the window. Especially since the fence is up a hill a bit and he has to run through rocks and bushes to jump it. How badly does this person want to trick me? Enough to risk getting hurt?

Okay, so ha ha funny, let's go back to sleep.
15 minutes later...
"door bell" "door bell" "door bell" "door bell"
Crap! Not again! This time we quickly look out the window, but nobody is there.
We go downstairs, no new statues, but I'm growing quite fond of the ones currently sitting on my porch.
This time, Hubby goes back to sleep....mwaaaaahahaha....but I don't!
I sit, with the window open, quietly watching. Holy cow, oh my goodness, oh crap, here he comes...I see his head...then his body slither over my fence...crap what do I do? He's very tall, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and it covers his face. Crap! He is frickin brave!!!!! and tall...
I ran downstairs as fast as I could, and all in one motion, swing open my front door lunging out on the porch and screaming at the top of my lungs at him right as he is knocking on my door. If the statues weren't in the way, I would have landed on him! He ran soooooo fast!!!!
I then went back in the house and fell over laughing...I was doubled over cracking up for about 10 minutes...can you just imagine this big guy being scared of me? Oh I am laughing right now just thinking about him. Hubby by the way, thinks I'm a little crazy.
Next time this happens though...I'm going to put some clothes on before I lunge out on the porch!

One of the statues is a lamb and the other one is...hold on I have to look at it...okay, it is a statue of a little girl and boy.
I'm going to load them in my car and drive them out to the entrance of our neighborhood and hope someone claims them. They are heavy!
I was kind of afraid that he might attack me but I figured if I scared him bad enough he wouldn't. It worked...but if he does this again when my kids are here, they will never ever sleep again!!!
Once, when I was about 23, I was sunbathing in the park, just taking a nap, wearing my bathing suit. I woke up and a man was sitting under a tree with his shorts off and he was totally going to town (if you know what I mean). I jumped up...didn't even put my clothes on... and went running after him. I chased him across the park, which was HUGE, and then he got in his truck. I got in my car and chased him about 5 miles until he got on the highway. Later, the police gave me an earful for doing so and asked me what I was going to do if I caught him...hmmm...I hadn't thought of that.
I just kept thinking that what if I was a little kid and he was doing that?
Holy hell, you were starkers when you opened the door and scared him? You got a pair, ya know that? Note to self...no ding dong ditch at Michelle's house! LOL!
Maybe he got scared 'cause of the fact you had no clothes on. I know I would be. Btw, you're husband right, you are insane.
mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaa... the things we do in the middle of the night!!!
Gee thanks for the honesty Jeff...you mean I'm not a BILF? (blogger)
A little while ago, the town I live in, people were getting their garden gnomes stolen. Almost every resident was complaining to the police. It turned out there was a fanatical group who believed gnomes belonged in the forest so they could come alive and be free to roam as they please- I KIDD YOU NOT!! Apparently it was happening in several other cities and in Europe- these gnome loving people
belong to a large organization. Bizarre isn't it? Your neighborhood and picture look fabulous.
