We are back safely from our vacation on South Bass Island/Put-In-Bay. Some

Despite the fact that we had a golf cart stolen from our driveway by a
couple of 17 year old punks (I ended up catching them and turned them over
to the police) we had a great time.

I am on vacation for another week but this time just chilling around the
house and doing some boating. ;-)

Glad you had a good time. (sigh) Now you've given me another newsgroup
to which to subscribe!

The quote above is my idea of vacation.

Thanks Frank. There is quite a lot of history on the Island. Sometimes it
seems like one needs a vacation to recoup from a vacation. ;-)

BTW: If you ever want to buy a house on the Island, here is what $550k will
get you (not even lake front and only a 100X200 lot):

Welcome back, Jim. Wonderful that you had a good time, and glad you
could catch the punks too! Hope they'll be able to learn something
about their errors, but eh, probably not.

After I was told by the cart rental place that I was responsible I drove
around the Island for a full hour looking for these guys. They had removed
the rental company stickers and the fold down windshield from the cart.
They are being charged in juvenile court by the police. I was able to flag
down a cop after I caught them (I made a police report earlier). I made a
request to the prosecutor for restitution for my time, gas use and SUV use
when trying to find them as well as loss of cart use. After all, they
screwed up a full morning of my vacation time.

I doubt if you'll get much out of the punks wallets, but good luck
anyhow.

These are juveniles charged in Juvenile Court. I would be surprised if
the Judge does not order the parents to pay the restitution for our
damages. We did not ask for a large amount, only enough for the
parents to extract from the kids behinds for the rest of the summer so
the kids feel some pain. ;-)

So glad to hear all went well, except for the golf cart incident of course.
Hopefully you won't be plagued with problems during the second week either!
