Hoodlums of The Night

More  problems arose
When I walked outside to
Find my tires all flat
From some hoodlums of the night
Who were out roaming the streets

Oh Sue...I am so sorry.
It is so sad and makes me angry when I hear of something like this happening.
Wishing there was something I could do.
Sending heart hugs to you, Nancy.

Thank you, Nancy. It cost me nearly $200 to get the tires replaced. The tires couldn't even be fixed. So, there went Christmas.

SweetSuzieQ~
You know I was saddened when you wrote me about this ... it simply makes no sense when vandalism for the sake of vandalism occurs~
Makes me angry that there are those kinds of people in our world who do something soooooo senseless~

Sorry hon ... but, "Yes, Sue, there IS a Santa Claus." ... I'll draw him a map to your home~

Love you~

let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

Oh, Sue, so sorry to hear this....I know exactly how you feel !! Had this happen to me back when I was trying to make ends meet, raising my daughter on my own. Woke up to find all my tires flattened. There went a weeks pay! People amaze me with their lack of morals nowadays.
hugging you, Chris

Oh, Sue, besides the inconvenience and the costs incurred from the vandalism, you must be feeling so violated! It enrages me that you were the victim of such a senseless act. Sue, I truly am sorry that you had to go through this! That was all you needed! ~ but you have that spark in you that never goes out! ~ No matter what life may throw at you! You are a survivor, my friend, and you have my love and respect. ~ and if I were rich, I'd be buying you some new tires!

Wrapping my arms around you,
Linda

Marge, Chris and Linda, thank you all for reading and your kind replies. I just want to cry. But, that wouldn't help a thing, would it?

Sue, a good cry can't hurt ~ and it may even help! It releases endorphins ~ the feel-good hormones! So go ahead and cry yourself a river until you feel better!

Hugging you,
Linda

Sue,
Is Hoodlums an eight letter word for Jerk? I hope they didn't cost you any money. It's obvious it was a huge inconvenience. Don't much care for vandals and thieves. My prayer is that I'll never catch one in the act. I'm afraid I wouldn't think much of myself after I was done with them. Peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Sue

I feel so bad for you and I would imagine you were shaken by this incident.  I hope you are okay.  It's nice to see you again.

Take care.....Sue

I'm anchored in you
