No can is safe.



So i live in a small town in middle Maine. There is not what we would call an abundance of jobs around here.
This being said i looked out my window the other day and saw what i thought was a strange sight. A man in a wheel chair crossing the street oxygen tank and all coming straight for our apartment. I wondered what he could possibly want over on our side of the street, or in our yard. What i saw next bothered me. This man zoomed through our yard digging through leaves and dog shit looking for cans. He even went onto the porch and was looking around. I thought to myself...... those are our cans. I want my 5 cents. Apparently he wanted and or needed these cans even more. Now look i know this man is at least somewhat disabled. But does that make it OK for him to zoom over into our yard and essentially steal our cans? I think this guy knows what he is doing, and is trying to manipulate his handicap to his advantage and pull on the strings of our heart. Well i have news for him! it didn't work on this guy. If he had even asked me for cans. Or said he needed cans to go buy a 40 or a can of soup I would have obliged. But just riding his power chair over and snooping for cans makes him a can thief!
