The Ink-Pot and the Palette

It's very disturbing that so many metal things are being ripped off for their scrap value and the weight alone of that washer would have made it a target. But it's a shame that 1) they broke and damaged your property in the process and 2) the funds probably went towards a drug addiction. Also disturbing is that in a well populated neighborhood no one noticed someone wrestling it off your porch and probably dragging it down the road. I understand your upset. It's the idea that someone (and there are many someones out there) who has no hesitation about entering another person's property, even in broad daylight. Of course, now days, it's safer for them to do it in the daylight than night time when someone is likely to be home. The majority of neighborhoods are unpopulated during the day time. It's all very disturbing and a little scary!
