Garage Sale & The Thief



So this weekend Taylor and I (Mostly me) did a garage sale to benefit Springboard. She wanted to raise money to buy yarn, new shower curtains and orange shirts (this is for a later blog). We we venture out at 3:30 AM (me) to put up signs and pull out the tables. We are ready to go by 5:20. Customers come and go and things are going well. Taylor is helping and bring me Ice tea when i request it because it is so blasted hot.








These 2 couples come up and start taking to me about springboard and I still have one other customer in the background "shopping", when all of a sudden the one Lady says she just took your purse and left.

I waste no time, RUN to he pimped out Tahoe and grab onto her door handle, bang on her window demanding our $15 prices fake LV purse back. She looks at me as though she can't speak English when I know she can, and drives away. While driving away I hear the men at my garage sale yelling let go lady. So I let go and she sped off.

I was mad to say the least, and since I try and keep this as clean as possible I will refrain from using the words that were in my head.

In the end she will be punished for her sin. She knows she stole, she got caught and she knows we know that she stole. Still makes me mad. We were just trying to raise some money for a good cause and it takes one bad person to try and ruin your day.

Our day ended up being fairly successful. So we have purchased our "stuff" and will bring it down on the 29th.
