America. Land of really strange crimes.

Some days you think you've seen it all. And then you find out you're wrong.

Thank you, Mark!

I think your distaff readers are going to want her to visit. No harm seems to have been done aside from B&E, but I am sure some male lawyer (stop screaming in fear Grumpy, some do provide useful services) will find some charge to nail her with.

Guy I know , who has a mental illness, would shovel snow and cut grass and leave a bill. But he was not hired to do the work. It took months to get across to him that he needed permission.
