I can relate!
Last week, someone tried, (in vain), to steal my Andersen 634 which is
around 400 pounds.
The problem was they had more pumpkin than manpower to lift it.
They managed to roll it off the front porch, into the street, where they
attempted to lift it into the back of a truck I suppose.
But, the 634 got the better of them and they dropped it in the street
cracking it in three places.
Well, they must have figured "if we can steak it, we'll chop it up!"
It looks as though they took a hatchet to the front and attempted to chop it
in half.
Well, the pumpkin got the better of them again, because they couldn't breach
it's 3 and a half inch thick walls in the limited time they had.
I awoke the next morning to find my pumpkin laying in the street in front of
the house.
Somehow, no one had run into it.
I got her back on a dolly, rolled it into the garage and hoped it could last
a week to Halloween.
Well, I'm happy to report it DID make it fine.
I cut it yesterday, and after some patching with gutter spikes, newspaper,
and joint compound, it was right there with my other 400 pounders.
I'll tell you, Chris not only grows big pumpkins, but the children of those
pumpkins are damn near indestructible!
Hey you little pumpkin thieves out there, I gotta pumpkin here that'll kick
your asses!:)

P. S., stealing pumpkins from your property isn't funny...it's theft, plain
and simple.
Maybe when the cops start treating it as such, the punks who do it will get
the message.
Hey, we invest a lot ot time and money growing these things!
