Re: Vandalism!


Its devestating to loose all of your hard work, to a careless action.  We
suffered a similar loss 2 years ago.  Truthfully the loss is priceless, you
can't place a dollar figure on your hard work, and pride over growing
something wonderful.

Subject: Vandalism!

I came to the patch this afternoon to find my
500# giant beaten with a
piece of wood, walk further into the patch and notice
about a dozen or
more field pumpkins smashed across the yard and parking lot,
many many
Baby Boos and Batwings smashed and scattered around and 2 of my 200#
AGs
beaten and bruised like the 500#.

I wanted to vomit,  I wanted to scream
(I actually did yell a few choice
words), I want to throttle someone's neck!
The police want an $ estimate of how much damage was done.  How am I to
put a
price on these...my children as they are!

Angry in Sun Prairie!!
