Amber Alert!
Name: Roughneck
Age: 1 month
Last Seen: Sunday, July 31
Reported Missing: Thursday, August 4
We went to the house last night to put out our trash for collection today. As I pulled up, I noticed the conspicuous gap in our lovely lined-up row of three trash cans and one recycling bin. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the thief didn’t feel like exerting him- or herself, and took only the one empty bin.
My “country mouse” husband is now convinced we live in a high-crime neighborhood. I tried to convince him otherwise, but I am a “city mouse” so I have a slightly different view of things – now the shooting on my parent’s corner a few weeks ago, that worries me!

The problem is you live on a street with a fairly high-volume of traffic where plenty of random ne’er-do-wells pass by. I worry about the same thing where I live, and have been meaning to spray paint my house number on my $80 trash can. Guess I’ll be doing that this weekend.
I’m just a block over and my Roughnecks (TM) have stayed relatively secure.
Oh, that’s aggravating. Just a suggestion — Keep a close eye on things during construction, and make it obvious that you’re living there. We were burglarized while our house was under construction (and we were not living there) — they took appliances and lighting that was going to be installed (apparently pipes and wiring are also common targets). It was quite the jarring “welcome” to the neighborhood. But we are in the home stretch of our nasty awful long project, and someday you will be too! Good luck to both of you mice, from the daughter of the people across the hall
Thanks! Yeah, your parents told us about that and we felt terrible for you guys! Fortunately we have nothing of value there and we will be living there shortly
