Pumpkin Thieves

I had three pumpkins and a mini-hay bale on our front steps to be festive for fall.

Yesterday I noticed the smallest pumpkin was missing.

I attributed this to maybe the mail lady knocked it over and just rolled away.

This morning, Mr. left for work.

Two seconds later the front door was being unlocked.

"What did you forget?"

"All your pumpkins are gone!"

"What?!!!!"

I ran to the door. 

Peeping out, I confirmed, yes the pumpkins were all gone.

We have become the victims of pumpkins thieves.

The mini-hay bale was still there though. 

At least the thieves had some scruples.


Update:  Mr. e-mailed me to let me know he discovered our pumpkins impaled on a fence down the street.  I may have to go rescue them later.

Jerks.
