    Default Dang These Newspaper Stealers!!

    So, where I live there is a free paper that comes out on Fridays. This paper only carries the SS inserts. There have got to be at least 300 at the mall I go to. I come here almost every day, there is a very nice inside playground that I let my kids run around and get rid of energy! (I like it when they go to bed at 8! ) So, I was here this past Friday and there were stacks and stacks of them! Since I come every day and since I am not a greedy person I grab about 5 a day. I didn't make it by this weekend (I try to avoid the mall on the weekends since it's crazy-time and not everyone watches their children ) I just left the area where the papers are and to my amazement they are all GONE! GONE! All of them!!! I know it had to be a greedy paper stealer, because Friday mornings right next to the stacks of the new paper is last week's paper and there are usually about 50-80 copies! I am so steaming mad! Ugh, at least I was able to grab a few this past Friday. Ok, vent done!

    Sorry to hear that!

    But, that is so cool that they offer it for free.

    Next week grab a few more.

    There has been a lot of funny business going around since the "Extreme" Show.

    (People wanting quick money, I guess, if they figure they can sell on Ebay).

    There are posts of people buying up papers at gas stations...100 at a time. People stealing newspapers from there homes.

    I guess they think that they will get a big "Extreme" stockpile, fast. LOL.

    If someone took them all (though its not really stealing since they are free) I bet you are going to have a hard time finding them at all anymore. If someone had no issue taking them all then Im sure they will continue to do so...

    Is it possible that you email/call the people that make that newspaper and ask them where/when/how you could get copies of the paper and let them know that someone is taking them all?

    There are many forms of death - you can die physically, you can die mentally and you can sadly die from loneliness.
