THIEF: Burn, baby, burn

| October 20, 2010 5:14 AM

To the person or persons who stole the utility trailer filled with firewood from the IGA parking lot in Rathdrum on the morning of Oct. 12. I know times are tough and I am thankful that you abandoned the trailer and we got it back, but was it necessary to vandalize it? My brother-in-law has been unemployed for more than a year. They were only trying to make a little bit of extra money. In the future, if you need wood for heating purposes just call the number on the sign and ask; they will be more than happy to donate the wood.

There are a lot of caring people in this world. I truly believe that you reap what you sow. Karma! We have a description of your vehicle from witnesses who saw you take it, and this is a small community. You will be found!

I pray that the wood does not get too hot for your woodstove. House fires happen a lot in the winter months. Something you might want to think about, as I said, you reap what you sow. I am sorry that you had to stoop so low as to steal the trailer for the wood. Shows how much "wood" you really have.
