Silver Lake Thieves

On April 4th, I cleaned my yard, and was arranging my outside statues and lights to make my yard look pretty again after a long winter. I put out a solar light that I had bought, that would come on at night and display a beautiful array of different colors at night.

It would turn blue, red, and then green, over and over all night. It was on a black pole, was maybe 2-1/2-feet long with a solar panel that stuck out, and the crystal ball that turned colors.

Now I put that out on Friday while working in my yard. By Monday, someone had stolen it. Just three days, and it was gone.

So, if someone has given you a solar light for a present, that is slightly used, and turns first blue, red, then green, contact Silver Lake Police Department because it is probably mine.

And to the thief that stole it, you should be ashamed. I'm sure your parents taught you better than that, get a job - get a life - and work for things you want instead of stealing from other people like a coward in the dark.

If you still have it, please bring it back. Just drop it off in the yard, if you have any morals at all.

P.S. Bring back my neighbor's boat battery also. If you're the one that took it also. It was a busy weekend for thieves.
