The box was postmarked Cape Coral/Pine Island -- we hope that video surveillance will show who the Grinch that finally found a heart was!<br /><br />While we are saddened that there are individuals in our community that condone stealing something as trivial and 'inexpensive' as a plastic pink flamingo (we've had 24 stolen in 11 years = $251 - that's EXPENSIVE!)and think it's funny; we are grateful for the many people who have stopped in over the years to comment on how much they enjoy our displays. <br /><br />Thank You for the news coverage - I know it helped in the return of the flamingos; and, specifically, Thank You to the person(s) that was kind enough to mail them back to us. We have our faith in Christmas Miracles restored, and are happy that our display is once again intact.<br /><br />We will be paying the $1,000 reward to C.R.O.W. of Sanibel,J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Preserve and The Harry Chapin Food Bank of SW Florida. <br /><br />Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings from Sharon & Judy at Cottages to CastlesRent Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914816778916145088noreply@blogger.com
