Pumpkin thieves are pretty sleazy. There is surveillance video of people stealing nearly 200 pumpkins in Wayne.

New Jersey farmers are some of the hardest working people we know, and Dennis has no sympathy for such thieves.

Dennis thinks these people should have to pay for what they've stolen by working on the farms. As for Judi, she's never heard of a stranger thing to steal, except maybe this.

I love to tell the story of the New York City garbage strike of the 1970's. It was the summer and went on forever. To make things even worse and the smell emanating from growing piles of trash bags containing God-knows-what permeated the air. I visited my family and was blown away by the sheer volume of garbage that one city of humans could produce.
My cousins couldn't take it anymore.

They were doing their best to get rid of the steaming stinky mess by th throwing it in the car anytime they went on a relatively long drive and dumping it in one of the local trash heaps. The only issue is in New York City those are few and far between. Some people I knew even picked up their trash, threw it in their trunk and dumped it in the dumpsters behind local restaurants. It was a garbage frenzy!

My cousins thought they came up with a brainstorm when they came up novel way to make sure their garbage was good and gone. They swiped a bunch of cardboard boxes from behind the local Toys "R" Us, loaded the garbage into them, and wrapped them all with like presents, with pretty wrapping paper bows complete with gift-card envelopes attached.

They left them there on the front steps and within two hours they were gone. Garbage problem solved. Imagine the look on the thieves' faces when they unwrapped those "gifts"! I still have not heard a story of a dumber thing having been stolen than someone's trash. How bout you?
