I've never had a flag stolen, however, several years ago my mother had one of those 80 pound concrete geese you see on peoples porches stolen off of her porch in the middle of the day.
And for some reason for the past several months someone has decided that they have to have my copy of the Dispatch so they take it right off my porch. I'm gonna catch whoever it is and shove the paper up their anal orifice.
Sorry about your flag. It just goes to show you that people will stoop to stealing anything.
