So sorry that your patio set was stolen, Susan.

How ignorant to say, "give the little guy a break". If I wish to donate, it's my call. Stealing is not my choice. Let's see if they do this when it's their house.

My cousin reported his reindeer stolen:) The police took the report. I laughed myself silly when he gave them a description, size, red nose...

I'm not in California and this was a few years ago. Crime is crime. Left to homeowners, they will do what it takes to keep their property safe.
