From what we have been reading, I would say theft of more expensive items is yet to come. Years back, two teenagers stole a hearse from the Woodfin Funeral Home located at Clark and Greenland. Never under estimate what thieves will steal.

You ever priced a John Deere 855 tractor with a belly mower?It's better than $10,000.Most commercial grade mowers are that price or higher today.And not a single one made in the U.S.A.

How interesting it is that two neighbors have the same kind of pain pills left in their car. May be nothing, but I never leave my medicine in the car. Sounds like it could be someone from that area seeing it was all in close proximity. It just seems like they knew what these people had, & may have been scoping the area out beforehand.

Mechwarrior, WOW!! No I must say I haven't priced them much except when my husband bought his, and it didn't cost near that much! However, I should have known it had to be a Deere! :)
