Missing motorcycle

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Dear Editor,

I just wanted to let people know how mean, deceitful and dishonest people really are.

I recently lost my brother to a motorcycle wreck west of Atwood. After his death, I bought him a cut-steel five-foot wide, three-foot high image of a motorcycle. I put it at his gravesite about one month after he passed away.

It has been out there about four months. Sometime around Halloween, someone stole it. I bought this for my brother because he loved his motorcycle. He loved riding it, and was very proud of it. Maybe if whomever stole it had half the pride and integrity he had, they wouldn't have taken it.

Now, all I ask is that they return it, no questions asked.

I cannot even comprehend what kind of person would steal from a cemetery. A holy place, a place of respect. Stealing is not respectful. I don't know if this was just a Halloween prank or if you have something against my brother or my family. I may not know who did it, but your judgement day will come and God knows who you are. Think about how you would feel if someone stole something from your loved one's gravesite.

Now the question is: Will you do it again?

Kara Allen,
