Did your son come home the other night without these on his feet?
Did he tell you how he lost them?
No?
Well, allow me.
Your kid was breaking into our car a couple of nights ago and my husband (we’ll call him Captain Awesome for the time being) drove up as your son was IN. OUR. CAR. (For those of you who are regular readers here this is a different break in than this one. I know, such a classy life I lead.)
Captain Awesome, being the bad ass vigilante that he is, jumped out of his car and chased your little juvenile delinquent son. That’s right, a 28 year old man took down your 15 year old twit. Lucky for your son Captain Awesome busted up his shoulder last week and couldn’t tackle your son properly without risking his arm. And my man needs his arm.
But he did get his shoes.
And I dare bet your son messed his pants.
We haven’t decided what to do with your son’s shoes yet, but we’re not giving them back.
Keep your mitts off our stuff you stupid, stupid people.
****************
These are getting sold on ebay by the end of the month, any bidders?

The only thing that would have been better than this recounting is if you would have gotten a video of Captain Awesome’s delinquent shoe-wrangling. (Why are people such jerks? I mean, really? STOP STEALING. It’s so lame.)

I wish we’d had Cody at our house a few nights ago when our car was robbed. I need to go to spy school so I can learn to steal shoes and trace finger prints. Love the sign!

Hi, I found you on All Things BD’s blog.
Wow… I mean, WOW! That is very, very impressive. Frankly, if this happened to our family, we would have probably called the police, watched as the prisoner-in-training took off with our stuff, and then lamented about all the cool CDs the PIT took. I like your way better. Well done.

This is sad but also hysterically funny. Did the shoes sell on EBay? How much did you get for them?

I was so ticked when a kid (I assume) broke into our car parked right in our driveway.
He broke a window and was able to steal 2 car chargers and a hands free kit…. not a blue tooth…. a $10 hands free kit. Oh yeah, my emergency tire jack too.
The window cost me $160 bucks.
Punk kids. I wish I’d come out when the kid was in my car. I would have taken my anger out on him.

Girl. That is awesome. I don’t know how you feel about *cough* profane adjectives, but I wanted to throw in an f-word just before the word awesome.
I love it. Seriously. Classic.

Aside from the obvious stealing, a kid who can’t tie his shoes deserves to have them stolen off his stupid feet.

I remember this post! HAAAA. You guys are awesome. There’s no justice like Moosh Family Vigilante justice.

That was kind of really awesome. (Not the trying to steal your car thing. The sign and stealing his shoes thing.)
