This is a note to the parents of the kids who trashed our acreage home on Feb. 17. The police believe the suspects arrived by snowmobile while we were wintering in Arizona. They trashed every room in our house looking for money, drugs, whatever they could steal. What did they ultimately get? A few dollars in change, some personal articles of jewelry, a suitcase to carry their 'loot,' and two very ornate Mexican sombreros.

So, for this they left a couple of seniors many hours of cleaning, insurance claims to repair damage, and the insulting invasion of our personal domain.
What can you do as parents? If someone in your house suddenly comes up with an ornate Mexican sombrero he claims he bought, check it out. It would be naÄŹve to think he would bring it back, but you will know the type of son you're raising.
