Our backyard is ajacent to a trailer park. No offence against people who live in trailers, but that park is a continual source of problems. Usually, it's petty robbers. The largest problem was the teenage serial rapist. Thankfully, he's in jail now. But, we're back to robbers now. One neighbor was cleaned out. Another neighbor had a broken fence to repair, but nothing stolen.
Then, there's our house.
Two bikes were stolen.
But, I'm not that upset. One bike was much too small for my rapidly growing son. The other bike had such a brake problem that multiple people were not able to repair it. Both bikes were headed elsewhere. They just made it to "elsewhere" a bit sooner than planned.
I am a bit peeved that a fence slat is broken and my husband will have to repair it.
That someone entered my domain, however, makes me downright livid.
This is my home and my yard. How dare some pipsqueak bike thief enter my realm! I'm considering my options: gun, viscious dog, barbed wire, electrical fence, attack skunk. What do you recommend?
Perhaps, I can learn falconry like the boy in "My Side of the Mountain" and train one of the lovely hawks that like to watch the Dawn rise while perched on my back fence.
