[Dailydrool] the vandals and the cookie

[Sabrina]

We have a mandarin orange tree in the front of the house; and 
although we share the oranges with the neighbors, we've been having a 
problem with someone picking them then throwing the peel in front of 
the house, LOTS of peel, extending down several houses on either side 
and into the street. The neighbor across the street reported seeing a 
dozen teenagers in front of the house eating oranges at around 8 p.m. 
last night. Ellie was asleep in the living room, which is adjacent to 
the front yard. She slept right through the dozen teenagers climbing 
into the tree, picking oranges, and hanging around to eat them and 
toss the peels. At around 11, before going to bed, I opened a plastic 
container to get out nighttime dog cookies; Ellie was at my feet 
before I had closed the container. Now if I could just get the teens 
to carry dog biscuits, I'd be alerted every time they approached the house.
