I had two solar lamps excised from along my outside steps as well, earlier in the summer. My daughter's friend found one tossed in some ivy around the corner, a day or two later. This really sounds like wayward juveniles to me - unless shown otherwise - though it's still annoying, at least.

Earlier this fall, I walked out on my front porch one morning to find a solar-powered "walkway" light planted in the middle of my front yard. It belonged to a neighbor a few houses down. Over the next week or so, several more of his lights were taken. A week ago we discovered that someone had moved a large planter from the wall next to our driveway to the path between our garage and our neighbor's garage. We couldn't tell if it was merely a prank or if someone was intent upon stealing it but found it too heavy to carry any further.

[Highland Park] Verizon Cell Reception
by claude_mauk＠yahoo.com 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi everyone! A couple of months ago, someone on the list asked about the quality of Verizon cell phone reception. My impression was that that person was going to be talking to a Verizon representative about the situation. Did that meeting ever happen? How did it turn out? My reception is still pretty much abysmal, but I'm curious. Thanks! Claude Mauk 1322 Cordova Road

[Highland Park] Strange plant coincidences
by Sweeney, Dan 20 Sep '05

I just found out that a neighbor had a plant stolen from her porch the other day. Unfair and unfortunate, but usually unremarkable. Except for this. Two weeks ago, a plant was stolen, _from out of the ground_, in our front yard. Another neighbor told me that a few years ago, there was a rash of plant theft in the neighborhood. She didn't believe that the perpetrators were ever caught. Strange plant coincidences, that I thought I would pass on to the group. dps
