Stolen Wood

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

This is for the person who took it upon themselves to trespass onto my property Wednesday during broad daylight, while I was at work, and steal all the pieces of wood you could lift. Fortunately, it hadn't all been cut up into managable pieces, so I still have some.The trees had not been down for 24 hours! Did you not realize that you were on private property? Did you not notice that the wood had been piled? Not only have I lost two large beautiful shade trees due to necessary trimming along Armstrong Road, I have also lost a majority of the wood.

The polite thing to do would have been come to my door and ask about the wood, as others had done. I hope you really needed the wood. I also hope the smoke gets in your eyes when you burn it!
