A roofer was scouring the neighborhood on his break, I just happened to be on a step ladder by the fence chasing squirrels off. He walked up and grabbed a mango right in front of me. So close I could've bit him. When I burst through the vines, he almost crapped his plants and exclaimed that I scared him bad. Told him that he should be scared, demanded my mango back, and then went around and had a talk with him. He rudely stated the mangoes were free for the taking because they were within reach. He told me to go ahead and call the police. Informed him he may actually need an ambulance.
He proceeded to walk all up in my neighbor's yards and look for more mangoes, near their windows.
His company name was on his shirt. They knew who he was by me just telling them he was stealing mangoes.
My neighbor had received a quote from them, but now will not hire them. He loves and grows mangoes too.
Gave away many pounds of mangoes this week. Love sharing.
Can't stand brazen thieves. Gave stolen mango away to a nice person.
Sleeping in my tree till the last one ripens...
