It Never Fails

It Never Fails

 

Want to get rid of stuff in a hurray? Have a yard sale. Things will disappear faster than you can keep track of what you have. For every year that I have had a yard sale, items have walked off and out of the yard and never paid for. Wonder if I have the word sucker written on my forehead or something. It's not like if will break me, it's the audacity of some people who can't be honest at a nickel and dime yard sale.

 

Like, maybe they are poor and they can't afford a few cents? Or maybe they are just naturally light fingered? I really don't know. I have just finished sorting and repacking the items from my yard sale and found that a small box of greeting cards had disappeared and I know I did not sell them. These greeting cards ranged from the 1800's to early 1900. I have the pictures of those cards as I had scanned them for some reason on my computer. I certainly hope that person has a guilt complex every time they sell at least one of them, especially on line, I will be watching for them.

 

The Elgin and Area Lions had also planned a BBQ for the same weekend but when it was so miserable, the yard sale and the BBQ were cancelled. It all took place the following weekend and turned out to be a great day. Except for the person who was light fingered. I wonder if they thought it would not go unnoticed? Got news for them.
