Unfortunately, there are plenty of people that would try to make a federal case out of a harmless prank. I’m suprised that the police are taking it seriously. But, I guess if someone files a report, they have to atleast look into it. ---

This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. I love the part about sending the pork chop and pork rinds (YUM!) as an attempt at intimidation. Alas, some people just don’t have a sense of humor, and it is theft so I suspect with her anger over it the pranksters will face the judge. But the big picture is this. 2 concrete pigs stolen from the front yard of a trailer park. Maybe the pranksters were trying to improve the image of people living in that park? Again, thanks for the laugh. ---

Oh, man, I would have SO played along with these guys! Hell, two ears of corn and a mango? What, a buck-fifty? And now the cops are having to waste money and manpower over this. Way to go, stupid stick-in-the-mud.
