This afternoon I opened the door to find two big burly men standing on my front step. After my initial Oh Crap reaction they started to explain. The one that did all the talking hummed and hahed quite a while before he told me that he works for the fence company and the other day he did something stupid. His boss really chewed him out for it. He needed power and we had power. So he took out some of the fence and plugged in to our house. It then must have been lunch time because they left.
Of course if you look down a few entries you'll know what happened at this point.
Apparently after lunch the guys came back to get started sawing whatever it was that they needed. But...their saw had been stolen. They replaced the fence and sheepishly went back to tell the boss.
He must have sent them to appologize and find out if we knew where the saw went. I told him the police have it. I don't think he was too happy to hear that.
A few hours later the guy returned. The police could not find the saw at the police station. Now either he went to the wrong station, it was lost, or the officer decided to keep himself a nice saw and extension cord. The police had asked the guy to get any information I might have. I gave him the case number and the officer's name. I'm really hoping the saw was just misplaced and I didn't just get the officer in trouble.
The way the guy was acting I'm thinking he's gonna be lucky to have a job when the day is over.
