The Cheshire dresser
Nov. 8th, 2009 09:07 pmLast Thursday we put an old dresser out on the curb with a "FREE" sign on it. It was old and beat up. Mike had had it in the garage for years, thinking he would use it for organizing, but had come to the conclusion that he should just get rid of it instead.
We came home Friday night, and it was still there, but the drawers were gone. We were outraged! Why would someone take just the drawers? What were we supposed to do with the empty frame now?! We had dismal visions of needing to break it up and put it in the trash.
But after cooling down, I said, "Maybe, just maybe, they took the drawers (and the "FREE" sign, I'll note), because they wanted dresser but didn't have a big enough vehicle to carry it. This way, with no drawers, no one else will take it before they come back for it." So we crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.
When we came home Saturday, it was gone. Yay!
