*** Edgerton Pre/Teen Parents *** It is my great displeasure to inform you of the following. We have had our Avon Team Goal Getters sign stolen and/or attempted to be stolen on several occasion. I know who the parents of two of the people who have stolen the signs and attempted to walk off with them until Cathy and I approached them. She let them know in no uncertain terms that theyd better put it back or there will be hell to pay. They dropped it and ran off. I hopped in the car and tracked them to their home so I know who their parents are. I did not speak with the parents as I was hoping they had learned their lesson. Sadly, I learned later that the story they told their parents was quite different that reality so I suppose that lesson went unlearned and for that I blame the parents and the two boys equally. On another occasion, I have personally talked to one of the kids who walking off with the sign offering this pathetic excuse for stealing it, It says TAKE ONE! After a short amount of verbal guidance, he brought the sign back and returned it to its proper location. I live on Rollin St as many of you know which is heavily trafficked by pedestrians. While on vacation, our sign was stolen again. Luckily it was returned by a couple of good citizens... Thank you you two :) This has prompted me to put our otherwise FUN DVR/Camera system to work for non-paranormal investigations. This is your FORMAL NOTICE that it is my intent to now video tape the thieves stealing the sign/booklets from our front yard and also the trespassers/litterers/vandals who cant walk on the sidewalk to the library but feel its okay to walk through our yard, dropping trash and kicking the kids toys as they trespass on the PRIVATE PROPERTY. I will not hesitate to duplicate the tape and turn it over to the police this time. I am disgusted that these people have nothing better to do that steal our signs/booklets, aka OUR PROPERTY that helps run OUR BUSINESS. Even more disgusting is the fact that when they get caught, the cops show up at their door, their parents will probably blame me for the entire affair. Theyre YOUR KIDS aka YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! If youre not going to hold them accountable for stealing/destroying our business materials and property, then YOU have forced me to take the steps Id hoped to avoid by your teaching your kids better. Further, I wont think twice about posting this same video on YouTube and Facebook even though I MIGHT not tag the kids and their parents in the video. Im still thinking that might be a little harsh. I am still in limbo on that one but I have NO PROBLEMS sending the cops to your house and pressing charges against your kid. So take this for what it is... 1) Your Notice to tell your kids to leave our property alone! Not too difficult and thats what good parents are supposed to teach their kids anyway. 2) When the police show up at your door, realize YOUR kids actions is what brought them there. Nobody MADE your kids trespass, steal or vandalize our property. They did that all by themselves. Maybe their friends convinced them it would be fun but either way the choice was theirs alone. Dont blame me for documenting their actions and turning the matter of to the police. Should I post the video online and tag you and our kid, well, honestly, I dont think I will do that unless your show up at my door or slander me or my family in anyway shape or form. Again, YOUR KID did these actions, not us! 3) If you see my kids, whose pictures I have posted all over facebook, doing similar crap at your home, or anywhere else, PLEASE chew their asses out! I am telling you ahead of time to CONTACT ME DIRECTLY no matter if you feel their learned their lesson or not. It is MY JOB to ensure they dont do that type of crap and if they are acting like that, I assure you not only will they be at your house apologizing for their behavior but they will remedy any damages and come by and do some lawn work for you free of charge for their poor behavior. I dont expect you to let their poor behavior affect you and I promise it wont happen again, just let me know about it. If you feel uncertain about or uncomfortable approaching me and feel you need to involve the police, please do. I would prefer you contact me direction, this is my formal request that you do so, but if you contact the police I will still praise you for taking action to prevent their continuing such behavior. The kids will still answer to me but I will hold no ill feelings towards you for not contacting me first. Just please do NOT allow our kids to act like destructive hoodlums. Your help is appreciated! Well, hopefully the few boys that are doing these things stop on their own. Otherwise, I have been very forthcoming about where things will go if it continues. My family and I will not be subject to having our lives affected by these few boys. Please have a talk with your kids and ensure they know to stay out of our yard, leave our AVON signs and books alone and all will be well. Thank you for your help!
