EDMONTON — Denise Thompson had a beautiful front lawn, thick and green. It was where her four children and two dogs played, and where she drank coffee on sunny mornings. Then someone stole it. They didn’t even leave a note. “Now my place looks like I’m a farmer who just plowed and is ready to put their seeds down,” she said Monday. Thompson and her children went to visit her husband in Stettler Friday morning. They returned to their Kilkenny neighbourhood home Sunday afternoon. The family entered through the back door and everything seemed fine. Then Thompson opened the blinds on the large picture window in the front room. “Oh my God,” she thought. “Where is my grass?” She went outside to the swath of ugly, brown dirt that had replaced her lawn. She thought there might be a note to explain an accident, like when someone dings your car in the mall parking lot. There were no clues. Thompson canvassed neighbours and several reported a white truck and trailer parked at her house. No one thought it was suspicious. Just another landscaping job. Thompson believes that a landscaping company messed up the address on a job. Though she laughed about the bizarre disappearance, the potential cost of replacing the greenery is on her mind. Her insurance company is baffled by her story and hasn’t decided if she will be compensated.
Biatch can cut the poor me routine, she knows exactly what the fuck happened here. I worked irrigation long enough to know what happens when someone doesn't pay for their nice, new, green sodded lawn. Shit gets ripped up real quick. Pay your bills lady. And don't try and play it off like they got the wrong address. You can't just roll up to any house and fold up the lawn nice and neat in a couple hours. That shit has to be a fresh install or it aint going anywhere.
Love how she tries to sell the story with the "I thought they'd leave a note like a car accident" bit. I'll humor you and pretend you weren't a deadbeat for a second...ok, ready? How dumb are you? A note like a car accident? A note is something you leave when you accidentally swap paint with someones car and feel like doing the right thing. What do you think happened here? Some neighborhood kid started digging a small hole in your lawn and got carried away and ended up carting the whole frigen thing down the street in his little red wagon? Get your head out of your ass lady.
