To the local Umbrella thief...

I love it!!! THe least they could have done was stolen one that was less obviously not theirs...blend in with the crowd...obviously a crime of convenience but passion could be argued since you referenced hearts...

I found out at the age of 13 that it's best to buy an ugly umbrella--that way no one will steal it. BTW, mine was stolen at church...

my favorite one was stolen at work,little did the idiot that stole it know i had my name written in the handle. A couple weeks after it "disappeared, the idiot showed up at work with it. I commented on how once had one JUST LIKE IT until it was stolen. She goes into some long drawn out BS of how and where she got it. I simply took it,unscrewed the tip of the handle and there was the piece of paper with my name still in there!
Now her expression was PRICELESS!

maybe the person who took it thought the school had put the umbrella's there free for their
convience. Like "well lookie here. how nice. the school has provided us a umbrella!
maybe this person is used to someone else providing for their every need

memorandum, read the "this is funny" post. Maybe the same person.

I've learned to never leave my umbrella at the door ANYWHERE,
including church....dripping wet or not, it goes where I go!!

I went to my son’s school to eat the Christmas dinner with him. I used my umbrella, which was white with pink hearts and a pink handle. I left it by the front entrance with all the other (approximately 30) umbrellas. Ninety-five percent of the umbrella’s were black or navy. The rest were dark floral. So, there’s no excuse to say that you just got mixed up and perhaps picked up the wrong umbrella.

Here’s the deal. You can keep the umbrella that you stole at your child’s school, but do know it comes with special instructions. You should only use it out in the middle of a field where there is extreme cloud to ground lightening. Capice.

Good first post.
... if anyone has a pink-heart umbrella sighting, post it here!

Let's just get a pink umbrella posse going. Do an intervention in the mall. Can we still do a citizen's arrest?

We can be armed with our cameras, take pics of any pink-heart umbrella toter we see, then send them to Memorandum.....maybe she'll recognize the scoundrel.

Or just point at her/him? and start staggering toward her/him pointing and screeching like "Night of the Living Dead".

Have you reported this to the TD?

Uh-uh FV---I have a TRUNKLOAD of ugly umbrellas...

Yall, the worst thing happened to my boyfriend this summer! It started off as a fun day at Point Mallard in Decatur. Well, at the foot of the large slide (dont know the name), everyone took off their shoes instead of wearing them on the slide. When we exited off the slide, his crocs were nowhere around! I personally think these are the ugliest shoes ever made-but that is beside the point. He had no shoes to wear out to eat and then home. We stopped by a Dollar General and bought even more hideous shoes so he wouldn't have to go barefoot...!


Out of all that, I did learn a lesson. Wear cheap shoes to Point Mallard...or ones you don't mind if you "lose". Also, have extra pairs of shoes or flip flops in your car just in case!

WHAT KIND OF IDIOT STEALS AN UMBRELLA?
ESPECIALLY FROM A SCHOOL, WHERE THEIR CHILDREN MUST ATTEND?


WHAT IS THE TECHNIQAL NAME FOR THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO JUST HAVE TO STEAL SOMETHING/ANYTHING?

AREN'T THEY CALLED CLEPTOMANIACS?
