Concrete pig hostage crisis (Diane Webb)

Well, there seems to be some intrigue going on out here in the north end of the county. Apparently, someone had a deer stand on someones land. This land is behind yet another person's home. The landowner where the deer stand was placed took the deer stand. Whoever owned the deer stand thought the people in the house took the deer stand. So--they took the concrete pig of the people in the house and somehow communicated to the individuals that the concrete pig was taken because of the deer stand. Now, the people in the house have placed three signs by the dirt road in front of their house apparently trying to communicate back with the kidnappers. One sign is an 8 x 10 typed page of cryptic sentences placed on a very elaborate easel. This easel is what you'd expect to find in a nice home with a portrait being displayed. Or in a restaurant with the special of the day or menu. There is a second 8 x 10 typed notice taped to the mail box. Then there is crude sign on poster board written in magic markers. Basically, the people in the house want their pig back and are trying hard to convince the kidnappers that 1. they did not take the deer stand, 2. taking the pig is "theft by taking", 3. if you bring our pig back there will be "no questions asked". Honestly, when I saw all the signs and read them I could not make heads or tails of it. Neither could my son who is in the top 10% of his class. I could tell someone wanted their concrete pig back but I could not figure out the deer stand connection. Ray went up the road and read all the signs and explained it to me. Now it makes perfect sense. I hope they get their pig back. I don't really care about the deer stand. Who puts a deer stand on someone else's land then gets mad because some one takes it? Isn't that called poaching or something? I will try to get a picture of these signs for you tomorrow. It's a hoot!
