Not sure if anyone remembers my posts last week about my house being burglarized on ds' 2nd b-day (I linked to pics of the sweatshirts worn). Well, they were caught!! We'd like to get...
(more)
the neighbors who provided their security footage to us a thank-you gift, but I'm not sure what. I'd like something other than flowers but we don't know them too well. They're nice people w/ two dds (elementary school-aged). Any suggestions? If it wasn't for us emailing the principal of the local HS we wouldn't have found them. The LAPD showed the same pics to the principal, but they blew them up so much that the kids were unrecognizable. Our follow-up email to the principal of the video/stills is the only reason they were caught. We should also send a thank-you to the principal, right? Is a note sufficient or should we send along a gift (suggestions welcome for this one as well). TIA!

- Make a donation of books (or gift certificate to amazon or B&N to the school) and perhaps something the girls would enjoy this summer for the neighbors. 6-3-2008 5:38pm
- op: GREAT idea about the school books thing. I was thinking this about the girls too, but I'm not sure what the parents told them about our situation. 6-3-2008 5:39pm
- How old are the girls. They would not need to know why the gift was given. 6-3-2008 5:40pm
- op: I'm going to guess that they're 7 & 9. I know that they're both in elementary school. I have trouble gauging the ages of kids. 6-3-2008 5:43pm
- Maybe a slip and slide or if they go to the beach or a pool club an ll bean tote with the family name and 4 beach towels. I am normally not a person who gives gifts for everything but ...(more) 6-3-2008 5:46pm
i think it is a nice gesture under the circumstances.
- op: Boat & Tote is a great idea and right up my alley. In fact, they're what I got for my bridesmaids (stuffed w/ goodies). Thanks! 6-3-2008 5:48pm
- was going to say note only for the principal, but I like your idea, and something for the girls would be a lovely gesture 6-3-2008 5:40pm
- no gifts for either, just notes. glad they were caught. 6-3-2008 5:38pm
- so what the heck did that sweatshirt say? I tried to decipher that ... 6-3-2008 5:38pm
- op: HA! I don't know yet, but we're dying to find out too. Just to put my mind to rest (I know it doesn't matter, but that doesn't keep me from getting fixated). Keep this on ...(more) 6-3-2008 5:41pm
