oh wooptidoo. We got upgraded from 6inches to 8 to 10 inches of snow.

a kid stole our shovel off the porch here at the house. Luckily for me, the kid wasn't too smart as I tracked his footprints to where he was. Now, the kid left his shovel on our steps. So, when I reclaimed my shovel after he told me he was "borrowing it" he followed me home.
Then he had the courage to ask for his shovel back. So, I told him he could have it back if he shoveled our sidewalk off. He turned around and walked away. I know it may have been a jerk move on my part, but, if I had to walk 6 blocks in knee deep snow to reclaim my shovel, then he's not going to just get his back without earning it. Sadly, for his part, the sidewalk wasnt that big and I had already shoveled it last night so there was only 6 inches of snow on it unlike the everything else that had a minimum of 18 inches ~ It only would have taken him 5 minutes.

heres the dialogue:
I walked up to him and said, "Son, looks like you got my shovel there."
HIM "Uhh uhh, it is?"
ME "Yeh, it is. You took it off our front porch."
HIM "I was just borrowing it."
ME "Im sure."
I grabbed our shovel back and walked home.
He followed me and when I got in our driveway he started to come into our yard.
ME "Son, if you come any further, I will call the police. You best get on"
HIM "Can I get my shovel back?"
ME "Oh, you mean the shovel you left on our porch when you stole our shovel? Sure you can have it back if you clean this sidewalk off with it. Or you can leave without it."

Then he turned and walked away.


Kinda pissed me off.
