This stuff pisses me off... when we lived in YouTah (Salt Lake) they built this wonderful park downtown, and there where these adorable, sort of larger-than-lifesized stone figures of bunnies and such all around the edges... one day not long after it'd been built, we went there to play and all of them had been smashed to some extent - it made me sick to my stomach and my heart. They never did replace them; only removed the remains. Some people are horrible, I think.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948171783916101137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-20488544495633219342009-11-18T21:56:31.870-07:002009-11-18T21:56:31.870-07:00I like that, the crazy bus stop Mona Lisa Lady!

Sad about the rocks though, it would have been cool to see a picture of them.<br /><br />Boys smashing things, let me see, the one and only time I got a "boy" babysitter, he and my son played hockey in the basement and smashed our 150 gallon turtle tank. Thank goodness it was only partly broken so that the LP record sized Larry & Balki turtles didn't escape!Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524918552190243085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-8270908824295944312009-11-18T15:06:21.406-07:002009-11-18T15:06:21.406-07:00My 3 yr old grandson broke a sliding patio door wi...My 3 yr old grandson broke a sliding patio door with a rock.

Maybe the artist will recast them in unbreakable resin and replace them-I hope!Deedeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171030223413480117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-58048483516060859882009-11-14T13:15:12.833-07:002009-11-14T13:15:12.833-07:00That just makes me a little sick feeling.

Some little boys probably noticed them, had to touch them, realized they weren't real rocks, so threw one down to see what would happen. Then relished the sound of destruction and finished off as many as possible. And that's the part that makes me sick. The total disrespect of other people's property, anyone's property is frightening. What DO kids nowadays respect? We're such a "throw-it-away-and-get-a-new-one" society. Oh, sorry. I ranted. But some little a$$hole broke the light on the pole in my front yard so I'm sensitive to such matters at this time.
