Must be a rough neighborhood…. I would never have thought to mark my outdoor furniture…

This bandit won the lottery…not only did he get the bench…he gets the social security number off the resident so he can also do an identity theft. Good grief what’s wrong with people.

THE COPS USED TO TELL YOU A LONG TIME AGO TO MARK YOUR TOOLS AND THINGS WITH YOUR SS# IN CASE THEY WERE STOLEN BUT THAT WAS BEFORE ALL OF THIS IDENTITY THEFT STUFF STARTED.
