Well said, Ellen.

On the day before garbage pickup, I assume someone meandering in a pickup truck is looking for curbside treasure and I wish them luck.

I often take unusual routes to pass by parts of the neighborhood for a variety of reasons - to look at gardens to get ideas for my own, to notice houses that are for sale or rent, to see what a nice neighborhood I am part of, etc. To me, it borders on vigilante - ism to assume that people cannot do anything in a different way without being up to something suspicious.

We are all just going to need to keep a look out and call it in when we see it. They've been successful so they will definitely strike again.

We did call the police but it appears that they took off before they arrived.
