A THEFT IN THE NIGHT

Yesterday was trash day a day that I look forward to except the part of dragging it out to the street. Anyway last night I got home after a long day of work and right before I was going to hit the sack I remembered that I needed to bring in my trash can. I walk out there and don't you know someone STOLE my trash can! Can you believe it? Who would do that? Is it really that big of a deal to pay waste management to pick up your trash? How far will it really get them? My sticker is only good for the next two months and then what will they do? Rob someone else of their garbage can? So I was totally bummed out about that. First thing this morning I call waste management and tell them what had happened. They then informed me that I needed to file a police report and then call them back and they will deliver a new one. So how silly did I feel calling the cops to report a stolen trash can! I mean really what will the cops do? Are they going to send out a search party for the trash can that was swiped from me? Should I sit by the phone hoping that one day I will get a phone call saying they found my trash can? LOL...It's all taken care of now and I will be getting another one at no charge thank God! The lesson here be on the look out for trash can theives...I mean really I can only just hope I can hold onto the next one, b/c there is no way of chaining my trash can to the ground!
