What Goes Around, Comes Around
Much to my astonishment last night when we got home from work, I noticed our party lights that were meticulously placed along our front fence were yanked off! Not only were they yanked off and some of the holders were out of the fence, 11 of the light bulbs had been stolen. Not broken off, but carefully unscrewed and stolen. I WAS PISSED! However, I had to remind myself that when I was a teenager, I traversed the neighborhoods of Bountiful and purposefully removed one Christmas light on peoples outside trees so the whole tree would not light up. I put plastic forks in peoples lawns so when they mowed their lawns, the plastic forks would get sucked up and hit the blade and scare the person mowing the lawn. I put dish soap in sprinklers, so it would make bubbles all over peoples lawns. I also did my fair share of toilet papering the neighborhood. So I do not deserve to be upset. Our lights being yanked off and stolen is a direct product of me being an obnoxious teenager 20 years ago. I hate Karma.

You were quite the prankster ... glad I didn't live in your neck of the woods :) !!
Wow Bop! I thought I was mischievous when I would remove neighbors Christmas lights just for the joy of hearing the wonderful explosion as they made contact with the street. Your enjoyment was just a little bit more sinister. Nonetheless, I too have been cursed, kicked, and beaten down by Karma for my misdeeds as a child and a youth. It just keeps coming and coming and coming. But maybe I will help the Karma beatings along by putting the dish soap in a neighbor's sprinklers...just because it sounds like so much fun.
hmmm- you were a bit more destructive than I was. We just liked to steal things from one yard/street/business and put them in some other prominent location in the town.
I will never be able to have a statue, light, removable embellishment of any kind in my yard. Oh, but it wasn't me who took your lights, you would have known if it was, they would have been strung strategically around the Leif Ericson statue in Ballard!
