I just ordered a Ring doorbell for my Mom. Our friend Barb, has a cousin who will install it. Won't bother having Mom get the app on her phone. I think my sister Trudy, would be the best one to keep an eye on that. (She's more tech savvy than I am. Added bonus...Trudy is a night owl!)
I'm also going to let Mom's great nephew know what happened. He lives two houses away from my Mom, and takes her trash and recycling out for her. His wife has pretty baskets, too. So, I want to tell them, so they can be on the lookout.
She's putting up a fight on getting new baskets. I think she's afraid of being disappointed if they get stolen. But, if Ed wires them down real good...hopefully, that won't happen.
Geez that is terrible! People really suck sometimes. However, maybe put them on her back porch or maybe she might enjoy them inside?
Her back porch isn't as nice as her front porch. She enjoys sitting out front, where she can wave at the bus driver as he goes by. And say hello the folks out for a walk, or walking their dogs.
