This issue is funny, but I can relate to the "victim"...even if it's just Burger King.
Years ago my Dad made a 6 foot tall Santa Homer out of plywood. It looks really good. Well one year when we put it out for Christmas, it was stolen. My mom and the rest of us were pretty heartbroken over it. She even put an ad in the paper for it to be returned. Well someone must have felt guilty, cause it was dumped in a nearby dumpster. A neighbor found it and it was quickly returned before the following Christmas.
