wm k su we wont take if you should happen to see some stylish wicker porch furniture complete with comfy cushions going cheap at a yard sale in these parts youd better check it fon temperature before poring over it too closely you might just burn your hands call it the great wicker porch furniture caper although for those of us who have been victimized its not very amusing stepping out onto the front porch to partake of the smells and sounds of yet another glorious spring morning recently i found my buoyancy from where i live bruce stapley buffeted upon noting our wicker chairs and love seat sitting naked their green floral cushions were gone leaving this threesome resembling a couch after the kiddies have rendered it cushionless in their search for walls for a makeshift fort obviously

all the pranks we used to pull on neighbours not enamoured with our endless- and noisy road hockey games played in front of their houses my wife susan waxed absolutely indignant sputtering out muffled expletives while theoriz ing on the complete lack of justification for hav ing such a thieving boor as a member of an oth erwise law abiding society i cringed as she spelled out exactly what form of justice she would mete out if she were in a position to try and convict this low life felon she even suggested we look into installing hidden cameras on the porch so as to be able to identify the culprit if we were to be hit again we checked up and down the street and searched the back yard in case the thug or thugs had wantonly cast our cushionshither or yon after perpetuating their brash deed but to no avail the plot thickened the following day when upon encountering my neighbour from across the street in the grocery store she asked me if i had noticed anything abnormal the past few nights i told her that yes by golly we had suffered the loss of our wicker porch furniture cushions and we were more than a little bit miffed- it turned out she had been victimized the same night with not only her cushions but her entire wicker porch fur niture set taken obviously these thieves had an eye for quality for her set was specially made in british columbia whereas ours was a more mod est taiwanese import all ofa sudden a case of petty theft had been elevated to outright robbery i suddenly had weekenbersaturday mav9198 p 18 down visions of cube vans combing neighbourhoods in the wee hours of the morning with hooded thugs spying lut porches adorned with wicker furni ture i wondered if it was time to form a wicker vigilante squad no too southern united states i decided instead i resolved to scan yard sales and flea markets everywhere i go in search of wicker furniture whose pedigree cant be sub stantiated in the meantime trying to replace our cushions has become an exercise in frustration i started out by calling the department store that sold us our wicker set to see if they carried spare cush ions nothing doing he said suggesting i contact the chains customer relations office the man on the other end of the 1800 number started out by telling me to call the store from which i- had pur chased ihe wicker i sensed a wild goose chase coming on the guy eventually agreed to do some digging for me he called me back an hour or so later with a list of wicker importers and trading companies i could contact in an effort to line up my replace ment cushions so far my efforts have come to naught but im sure well eventually succeed in replac ing our cushions in one form or another and we will once again be able to sit out on a beautiful spring evening sipping tea in cushiony comfort but the next time some pilfering punk sets his sights on our porch i plan to provide a surprise for him surely there must be a way to set a rat- trap underneath a wicker furniture cushion somehow the idea seems fitting illage nissan enjoy the savirsgs event 7mth lease for 36 months 0rget45 nolimit financing for up to 60 months 1998 nissan maxima gxe fssseessg fully equipped
