OK, so I'm mowing my lawn after a brief Cobra jaunt and hating it. My drive belt starts slipping so I shut her down. I had been blowing leaves with my trusty Redmax backpack blower that's been giving me great service for the past 20 years. I blow the yard debris off my mower prior to disassembly, lay it down next to the mower and head out to the Depot. While I'm there, my daughter calls to tell me that some scruffy-looking woman and her male partner pull up in my driveway in a GEO Metro, toss my leaf blower in their back seat and casually drive away. WTF? Needless to say, I'm bumming. Now I get to come up with $400 or so to buy a new one. SVOBud, if you happen to come up on a turquoise GEO being piloted by a pair of late 50s, scruffy looking folks, please kill them.
