Imagine looking out at your front yard one day and realizing your lawn is missing. That’s just what happened to Denise Thompson:
It was where her four children and two dogs played, and
where she drank coffee on sunny mornings. Then someone stole it. They
didn’t even leave a note. Thompson and her children went away to visit
her husband one morning. They returned to their Kilkenny neighborhood
home. The family entered through the back door and everything seemed
fine. Then Thompson opened the blinds on the large picture window in the
front room. Oh my God, she thought, where is my grass?
She went outside to the swath of ugly, brown dirt that had replaced her
lawn. She thought there might be a note to explain an accident, like
when someone dings your car in the mall parking lot. There were no
clues. Thompson canvassed neighbors and several reported a white truck
and trailer parked at her house. No one thought it was suspicious. Just
another landscaping job.
And believe it or not, that’s not even the weirdest theft story on this list!
