stolen goods

TO THE EDITOR: I surely have had the "luck of the Irish" since I moved to this quiet little town of wonderful, friendly and neighborly people. I've been on this earth since 1929, happily raised on a farm in Altona, happily married in 1952, and lived from 1961 to 2004 in the hamlet of Brainardsville, Franklin County, raising a family of seven children. Peace-filled life. Why now! At this age and alone -- Vandalism on April 26 -- Now! Sometime between Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, my green wicker set of two chairs, love seat and a coffee table were stolen from my front yard!

My next door neighbors were gone to camp, I was gone to a wedding and to camp. Now my furniture is gone!

This furniture means a lot to me (a gift from my children). My husband, Jim, and I used to sit on this love seat on our front porch in good ole Brainardsville.

I do not want anyone arrested! I just want my furniture back!

Maybe you needed extra seating for the 4th of July! But, I need it now! Company coming! Please return it! Thank you!
