Have you ever heard suspicious laughter outside on a dark night? I heard a mischievous laugh and looked out my 2nd floor window to see 2 of our neighborhood teenagers carrying a 6 foot long mirror down the street. I had previously seen the mirror in our neighbors yard - set out for the trash truck. Of course the trash truck refused to pick it up probably because of the danger it posed.
These two young boys were laughing and cutting up as they precariously carried the big mirror down the street. I saw a possible big mess and real danger for those two, but I also saw a good photo opportunity. So I ran and got my camera and snuck out the front door. It was dark already. By the time I came outside, they had set the mirror down in a large puddle of water on the street corner and the mirror split in half.
As I approached them to take this photo they were both carrying a piece of the mirror. I told them to pose for the photo and they gladly posed. I told them I hadn't seen anything this weird in a few nights and then told them not to hurt themselves. They carried the mirrors on to their house (2 doors down) and I came in to tell Joan. Another moment in time captured on a data file...

That's so funny! I wonder what their mom said when they walked in with the mirrors? Wonder where they put them!?
It's a wonder they had not just dropped the mirrow and ran when you came out to take their picture. Was it someone you knew?
Are you gonna post the pictures showing what they did with the mirrors?
