I would like to take this time to thank all of you with your kind words with the theft of my sons pumpkin. I have printed all of the responses and I will read them to him tonight when I get home. I wish I had the time to respond personaly to each and every person who wrote. Last night my son and I cut a 4x8 pumpkin out of plywood and painted in orange. I told him it wasn't a real pumpkin, but it was a big pumpkin and that we could write a note on it to tell all the people that your pumpkin was stolen. He was having fun and laughing. Now all of my neighbors are going to think that I am nuts with this big orange "pumpkin" on the lawn with a note on it that starts " To the dirtbags that stole my pumpkin ". Again I would like to thank ALL of you for your kind words. Thanks Jim P.S. At least ALL the people who grow pumpkins are NICE PEOPLE!
