Jul. 6th, 2007 01:57 amOkay, seriously, who the HELL robs a Girl Guide camp?
Someone apparently broke into the area Guide camp over the long weekend. They ransacked the old farmhouse there to get all the copper wiring and plumbing. From every appliance, every fixture. They also stole about a dozen tents (the good ones, of course. Not the evil canvas ones that they quite frankly would be WELCOME to) and a bunch of pots and pans. And the news coverage seems to delight in noting that they even stole the cookie sheets. (Seriously, who steals a cookie sheet?)
I spent many a weekend when I was in Senior Branches there helping to keep the place in repair. Because that's how the camp gets looked after. Not to mention selling so many cookies to keep the place in shape. I mean, it's a Guide camp. Other than an occasional donation, it's kept afloat by fundraising.
Also, it was seriously weird watching my old Guiders being interviewed and walking through a building that I know so well. They were showing the stove knocked over in the kitchen, and I was having flashbacks to picking apples in the pouring rain to make a pie in that very stove when we went in to get everything straightened out before winter.
