Jeez. Can you imagine? The locals have got nothin’ better to do than to sneak onto my front porch and steal my bird feeders! They did it again this afternoon.
What bastards!
Welp: after this, the birds will have to repair to the back yard — behind locked, six-foot-high gates — to snack on their birdseed and their hummingbird juice. Guess I could booby-trap the front patio with cameras…but really…. That does seem like it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
Literally: even if I catch them in the act, the cops aren’t likely to do much (or anything) about it. Like there weren’t better things to fill a police officer’s time?
It’s stupid and it’s petty. But it sure pisses me off!
