anthropological study?

My day started out with a knock at the door, it was a women and her 2 children all dressed up in their Sunday best. She said she is Johova Witness and was looking for spanish speaking people in the neighborhood. Do I know who in the neighborhood might be? I was rejected by Jovaha Witness!

The 2nd oddness: I was out cleaning out the garage and put an old metal garden edging out by the garbage can in the alley. 4 young (early teens?) black girls stopped by. I thought ok, here comes the attitude... They asked me what I was doing and what was "that". I told them and they looked all excited and asked if they could have it. Sure, no problem, that's why I put it out there. Now I'm feeling bad for jumping to conclusions as to what they were up to. So off they go with the fencing. I'm thinking cool, maybe they're planting a garden. I go on with my day...



I removed the 2 metal lazy susans from my kitchen took them outside to spray paint and go back inside while they dry. Maybe 10 minutes later I go out and one is gone! OH MY GOD! I'm furious. I spent hours cleaning and prepping those. So I walk down the alley cuz I see a bunch of kids playing down about 8 houses and then notice 2 houses down the fence and various other crap including my lazy susan. I grab it and start walking back to my house and a kid yells "Hey that's mine". Ok, I'm fuming. I said "no the fuck it isn't. It came from MY fucking yard". A few minutes later the kids come down to their pile of junk so I go over there to "talk" to them. I guess I shouldn't swear so much, they were pretty young but she fucking opened my gate and came up to my back door and took it out of my yard! It was not near the garbage, she did mistake it for garbage. Anyhow I bitch and swear and say don't take shit from peoples yards yada yada yada. As I'm walking down the alley she says bitch and I say bite me. So... Now I want a privacy fence with locks on the gate.
