My husband and stepson was working in the yard and cleaning out gutters , they stopped long enough to go to Ace hardware to get lawn bags and when they got home someone had stolen the ladder.

“My husband had that ladder for years and we’ve lived here for 9 years and left stuff out before and never had it stolen. Such a shame that you can’t do or have anything without people stealing .”
