a few years back i bought a frosty the snow man to put out in my front yard on the holidays.
the kind that stand up -not blow up - and light up. he was made up of a wire frame, and drizzled on the outside was this hard clear plastic stuff. it was supposed to make him look like he was icy. up close it just looked like dried hot glue.he had a black top hat and a scarf and everything!
over the years he has gotten brittle from spending the summers in the attic.the icy parts of him would break off -the thinner pieces anyway-at the slightest touch.
this morning i went outside on the porch to see what kind of day it was -and found frosty dead!
he had been bashed in, broke in half! by some strangers foot. the worst part : frosty's magic top hat had been taken off and been thrown to the side. it was just so sad. like in the movie. how he'd only come alive if he was wearing the hat.
SOME ONE vandalized my christmas decorations!
we also have a 5 foot fabric snow man that has a stand. he also lights up. and he had been broke off at the base and was laying helpless on the grass. this one tj thinks he can fix. thank GOD! b/c i know home depot has no more and i had already taken one of the new frosty's back b/c it had broken off his stand in the wind! the base just needs to be sautered back to the pole and we can put it back out in the yard.
not that i really want to anymore.
poor frosty.
i just can't believe it. it's kind of a scary thing really : to think that while i was sleeping snug in my bed someone was out there kicking the life out of my christmas decorations.
scrooge must live around here somewhere.

Did you call the police?
Oh, and report it to your POA.
They put things like that in their newsletters. Maybe the punk kids' parents will see it.
And if you haven't alerted the POA about that rock to your garage door a while back, I would, as well. That's TWO attacks on your house and they need to know and need to inform the residents of such goings on, as well as alert the neighborhood watch, etc... all of those things go into the neighborhood reports. They don't want their community getting bad ratings and discouraging decent people from living there.
WHAT? That is preposterious! It's almost like you need to set up a camera to video your front yard and catch the assholes who think it is funny to destroy other people's property. What did Frosty ever do to them?
no. we didn't call the police. i suggested it. but TJ just picked up all the pieces and threw them away. i tried to remind him of the garage door. but he wasn't really listening.
i didn't think of alerting the POA about anything. i didn't know they monitored that type of stuff.we do have a neighborhood watch though. i should have thought of that.
Holy cow! Poor Frosty. I hope you're able to get one of his siblings for next year :(
