Beware of Geeks Bearing Grits

One of the women K hobnobs with in Saskatoonia lives in a pleasant little burg and, coming home one evening a couple weeks ago happened to notice that the barbecue cooker was missing from their patio.  No, her husband hadn't loaned it out, but, shoot, with the all the neighbors being friendly and all back-and-forthish, probably someone just needed to borrow it when they weren't home to offer it.  No big deal really.  

And sure enough, the next night it was back, right where it was supposed to be.  The husband went out to check it and low and behold, whomever had borrowed it had thoughtfully left a couple tickets to the theater for that very night, inside, on the grill.

What a nice treat, they thought, wondering who they had to thank for a nice, surprise night out on the town.

They'd really like to know, now, since upon returning they found that almost everything of any value was no longer there.
