I've never had this happen before.
Today, DH told me, "It looks like someone was hauling a garden statue up our street, and it fell off the truck." Well, the "statue" looked familiar to me--it was the post for our bird bath. It's nothing valuable, and it was old, but what really bothers me is that someone came right up against the front of our house, under our bedroom window--and we didn't even hear them (they carried it a long distance from the yard, down the street, and smashed it to bits).
We called the police, who said that they had several reports of vandalism last night in our area. I did drive around some of the streets before you get to ours in our development, but saw nothing damaged; in fact, a lot of houses had Christmas decorations on their lawns intact. I'm wondering if our house was targeted for some reason; we're toward the center of the longest street in a huge development of 500 houses, and I could understand them randomly vandalizing at the entrance of the street, or the bottom of it. I looked down the street, but saw nothing, though DH said that earlier, he saw some stuff that may or may not have been touched, he couldn't really tell.
