Or some people just need to get a life

Well things have just started to quite down now I have a newpaper thief. Which to me is a little insane. For one reason it seems like a pretty and stupid thing to feel the need to steal. Secondly whom ever is doing this is putting a lot of effort into doing so. They are making it a point to rush out and snag my 50 cent daily paper before most people head off to work. I know exactly that they are taking my paper at 6:30 AM or even earlier. I know approximately what time it is delivered I just don't normally get up until 7AM and the paper is delivered between 6 and 6:30. This morning the thief snagged it before 6:45 AM. I just don't get it I know all they would have to do is go out and around the dumpster every day and they would find plenty of empty bottles and cans to buy their own paper. On an average when I take out my trash I find at least 12 laying in plain site on the ground. It's not like they even have to trash pick, true they may need to be rinsed a little, but that is nothing. I know if they put half of the effort they're putting forth now to steal my paper in finding bottles and cans. They'd probably have enough not only to by their own paper, but also enough to buy a beer or soda (depending on what they drink)!!

bloody blooming unreal!  I used to have one of those too,  years ago.  It turned out that the woman manager of the apt. complex, where I lived,  was sending her youngest son out to steal my paper! 

Another time I caught one of the neighbor guys with a paper of mine in his hands,  and I asked him if he lived in that number apt. and he nodded!!  I said No you don't I DO and he handed it to me and slunk off like the snake he was...

Some people!!

I agree with ya,  a little bit of work and they could have a fresh cuppa coffe in the morning with their OWN dang paper!

What really gets to me is that they go through the extra effort to get up before 6:30 every day (Saturdays included!!) just to steal a lousy 50 cent newspaper. I guess they have nothing better in life to occupy their time. I wish all of us had such time to waste in life!!
