Why the blog, well last year someone stole from us too.  They took our first lawn jockey ( named the "Little Man") by nieces.  He was very special to us.  My husband had to re-paint him and repair his arm.  I was proud that he could fix it back up.  His mom, who has since passed, got a real kick out of the lawn jockey.

He stood outside our old home and adorned our new home for maybe 5 years..  My aunt thought he made our garden look elegant.  He was a measuring stick for all the little ones.  Only the youngest, couldn't use him because he was gone.  

Did a police report, but I don't think they take lawn thefts very seriously.  It had been a busy day before he was stolen. The neighbors had a yard sale, many people in the area.   Someone even inquired, if he was for sale, their husband always wanted one of those.   Note:  Really pay attention to license plates of nosy people, everyone is suspect.  The nieces were over, so my dogs who are old, were very tired, you could say dog-tired.  They did not hear anything.  Whoever took " The Little Man" picked it straight up, no foot prints, etc.  So one very strong person or a team.   Well, we were heartbroken, so next I'm posting his picture.  If you see one, notice the arm repair, he could be ours.
