Is it a felony or is it a misdemeanor if porch-pirates steal a shipment of tildes from in front of my house?

    That depends on whether they proceed to waltz your tildes.

      Why am I suspicious that you’re somehow involved in all of this, Stu?  Grrrrrrrrr.

    Don't know. I guess you're a suspicious kind of guy.

    It's a public service.

    Sounds like a 'Key to the City Award'.

    There are 21 Spanish-speaking countries that need those tildes more than you do. Quit hogging them.

      Based on the video evidence, I’ve provided the postal inspectors with a possible suspect list:

    9. Lady Ondine 
    8. Livvie
    7. Just Asking
    6. Merlin
    5. carbonproduct
    4. SavvyAnsley
    3. Nice Jugs*
    2. Jaimie*
    1. Jane S

     

      Expect to be hauled into headquarters for questioning at any time.

    *Interpol has also been contacted.

    Hmm, This means that there's one person here who actually has a motive who's not on your list.  


    I put them on the truck in the picture.

    Please don't pull him in for inspection!  Please don't pull him in for inspection!

    Oh no!  He's overweight!  Geez Randy, what have you been feeding those tildes!?

  • I need that delivery now.  Randy is my best customer.  He's waiting.  I must repackage them and send them to him soon.

    A virgulilla de la eñe must never be fed after midnight, and it must never get wet.  The reason why the truck is halted for inspection is because the virgulilla de la eñe can never get wet, so the truck must carry warning plates.  I don't see them on the truck.

      You’re the porch-pirate woman in the gif, aren’t you, Livvie?  Grrrrrrrrrr.

    Umm, no, I got there just a few minutes after she did.  That's just Randi Dee.  She's more interested in the sales receipt in the package and the credit offers in your mailbox, so she just took what she wanted and gave me the tildes.

    Randi Dee and you have a lot in common, such as a birthday, a social security number and a mom with the same maiden name! This post was edited by Livvie at September 8, 2020 10:46 PM MDT

      You’re deranged. This is nothing more than your flimsy attempt to throw the suspicion off of yourself by imagining some fictitious “Randi Dee” character.

    Grrrrrrr.

    I tried to tell you about the mailbox robber, so don't blame me when the bill for her shopping spree comes in the mail.  You should really thank me.  She would've just dumped your tildes on the side of the road.  I'm the one who saved them so I could send them to Martina so she could sell them to you, but please don't tell her the tildes she sells you are the ones I'm stealing from you.  I've got a pretty good scheme going on here.

    All mail theft is a felony regardless of value of the mail.

    Thank you for your answer. You do realize that my post is merely in jest, correct?

    No. I really thought you ordered and paid good money a huge box of tildes and someone else thought they were so valuable that they stole them........

      I see. Tildes are not a tangible asset, I don’t really collect hoards of them, and there is no actual tilde vault in my house.

    Depends on the dollar value.

    Now, if they stole a bunch of currency symbols, it would automatically be a felony.

    Those are the fake decoy ones, the REAL tildes must be signed for.
