Mail Theft!

 On our way home from the Sounders game Gary was wondering why he had not seen, via email, that his Netflix CD's had not arrived yet. He then went on line and remembered he mailed a bunch of checks that same day for bills. Then he saw one was cashed and looked at the photo they make of it and saw that some one had crossed off the banks name and but in some one else's name! Can you believe that some one cashed it for them?  We think some check cashing place must have done it. The bank would hopefully not take something like that! 

After a night of little sleep for Gary, he called the police to report it. Then put a stop on our other checks. The police man showed up in 5 minutes of calling. I was very surprised. The officer was very nice. Handsome also :-) Then spent a couple hours at the bank trying to sort it all out. Fun times.

Our neighborhood is so quiet. I guess too quite and trusting we are. We have learned out lesson. We are looking to get locked mail boxes soon. Some of our inbound mail is missing also. Some coins from the US mind never showed up. Not nice people.

The officer let us know later that they think they know who it is, and will we press charges. Heck yes! They could have really messed us up if Gary had not been so on the ball. I love that man. :-)

Below is what our house looks like right now with Halloween decorations. Don't you think it needs more stuff?  Some does not show up.

This is the first time my Fuchsia's have lasted this long!  They are still blooming. I have a feeling we are in for a yucky winter. El Nino is this year. Warm Fall and cold wet winter is forcasted. Ugh...
