’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through our house, not a creature was stirring, except for the louse — who “removed” the hood ornament from my 2002 Buick, parked in our driveway in Marysville.
In stealthy darkness, some “reasoning impaired individual” decided that life could not go on without possessing a Buick hood ornament. What kind of desperation is that?
I had no idea that a Buick hood ornament was such a valuable collectable. Otherwise, more than likely, I might have removed it myself and sold it on eBay and made a donation to the local food bank.
Parents — if someone in your household, probably a younger person, maybe of high school age, suddenly appeared with a “found” Buick hood ornament to wear as a necklace, or on a key chain, or to add to a collection of items, more than likely it is stolen property.
The troublesome thing about this is the ignorance of the thief. The DV on my car’s license plate means 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran. Why would the thief go to the time, trouble and risk to steal something of little value from a disabled veteran? Or was it just the idea of easy pickings, to steal from an older veteran?
That hood ornament was my aiming device, and now it is gone. The thief knows where it came from, and it should come back to its rightful owner. You can leave it on the chair on the porch. I will somehow find a way to reconnect it.
