Theft Forces Yard Sale Closure

Dear Editor:

  I have been having yard sales for over 10 years. I’ve always left my items set up on the tables in my carport. However, recently, people were coming to my home and taking what they wanted when I wasn’t home.

  Stealing is a crime, no matter where you do it.

  Then you have the ones that like to change the price tags on items. One will talk to you while the other one is stealing what they can, because you have your back turned. That would be called shoplifting in the stores.

  I was forced to close my sale because of what people were doing. I will no longer have a yard sale at my home. People that are having yards sales are urged to be on the alert.

  The Good Lord says, “Thou shall not steal.”
