Shh, hi, I’m stealing again. Despite your reassurance that it’s all fine and dandy for me to be a thief, every time I get online, my palms sweat, heart races, I jump at every sound certain that the KGB, FBI, and gestapo have all arrived at my new house to take me down. I picture my neighbors tsk-tsking me as I’m taken away in cuffs in the back of an unmarked cruiser. If I do get arrested all of YOU are paying for my legal defense. JUST SO YOU KNOW.
But Interwebs, I just can’t quit you.
Remember Chester? Well his clothes and shoes all arrived safely (thank goodness). Chester was nowhere to be found, though. Rest in peace Chester. Rest in peace. Amen.
While unpacking, Tate and I found some boxes that made us giggle…
REEF? It couldn’t be?! Could it????
Yes! Yes! It is!!
There’s my reef! Oh how I missed you, reef!
Then there was this box…
Oops. I guess I shouldn’t have let the movers pack my POT plants (and art plants.) I’m so relieved my POT plants survived the move. Gee I hope I don’t get in trouble for those POT plants. I don’t want to get in anymore trouble with the Feds than I already am.

Mama DB stole my comment. I initially thought “reefer” as well and then the Pot & Plant box made me laugh even harder.
Maybe your neighbor is a reader and KNOWS just how important it is that we all get our Playgroupie fix and opened up their internet for your use. Or, maybe they’re just a moron (like me) and don’t lock it and don’t really care if someone steals it. Either way, Yay! You’re back!

Oh you naughty girl, you!! I’m guessing the neighbors must not be too stingy with their connection if they’re so loose with the lock up. That’s how we roll here in the Hoosier State.
It flows pretty freely around our house, too. We’ve NEVER had an issue getting a connection when we needed it.
But, I’m like you, and get scared if we ever do!
Can I just say thatI hope our movers are as entertaining as yours!! Too funny!
Hey, at least they didn’t try to steal your reef or pot plants! (and then throw it in the toilet)

1. Stealing someone’s Net access who is too dumb to secure it doesn’t count as stealing.
2. Seriously, what the hell was in the “Pot and Art” Box? I’m confused by the marking for Master Bath, because your new house comes with it’s own toilets (or pots as they are sometimes called) right?

What exactly is an “art plant” anyway? I mean, I know what a pot plant looks like…er, wait…no, I’ve never seen one of those either. Nope.
And it’s not stealing if you’re actively trying to acquire internet service of your own. If the neighbors find out, tell them to take it up with Comcast for not getting to you sooner.

Our little tags are red and they are still stuck to a bunch of things.
And I have a box in my basement that says it contains a BLOW UP DOLL!
It is really one of those blow up contraptions that you put a bunch of balls in for kids to play in. But at first I thought the packers had found some ‘toys’ from when my DH was single! LOL!

I’m so glad your reef is okay! And your pot. Those are good signs.
Also – if a new neighbor was “stealing” our wifi I really wouldn’t care. We pay the same amount every month regardless of how many people are using it, so why worry???? Just keep on stealing (‘cuz I was going into playgroup withdrawal!)

I avtually felt guilty once for ’stealing’ wireless. I called Comcast, oh hush I know it’s lame, Comcast said there is no such thing as stealing wireless.
When a connection is unsecured it is inherently shared for the public.
The interwebs can’t quit you either.
