It seems that someone has stolen part of our garden hose. Not the whole hose, mind you---just about 12 inches of it. They cut it from a section close to one of the ends. Interestingly enough, the thief (thieves?) left behind the spray nozzle, still attached to the coupler and six inches of useless hose.
Uh, WHAT KIND OF A JACKASS ONLY STEALS PART OF A GARDEN HOSE?! Exactly what use could someone possibly have for just 12 inches of hose? Are foot-long hose pieces a hot commodity these days in Petty Thief World?
Also, how is it that someone who needs to steal hoses OWNS SHEARS THAT ARE QUALITY ENOUGH TO CUT THROUGH A RUBBER TUBE IN TWO PLACES?!
I should probably feel violated considering that the thieves had to travel 175 feet down our driveway to even find the garden hose, but instead I'm just somewhat pissy about it. Yeah, it's annoying to have to buy a new hose, but it's kinda hard to feel threatened by dumbasses who didn't even plan ahead for their future foot-long hose needs by stealing two pieces while they had the chance.
Damn redneck criminals!
