I was there tonite right after work around 7:15 and was in the alley. No one came to the door. I turned right onto Constitution off of Union, went past Meade, turned right into the driveway (before faragot) and went to the third house on the right, which looked like the only house I could even get to from the alley. Big brown fence with a padlock on it so I couldnt get to the door. Honked but no one came out?
*slaps forehead...WHAT?!?

NO we are ON Constitution you just can't park on it that's why you have to turn in the alley. We have a big ol ghetto sled car in the driveway and the house number is on the garage 1*** ...3rd house west of Union. It will be there tomorrow on the back porch
Came home from church 9 PM Wed night...porch light on DVD player still sitting there.
Checked email next morning got this:

Ok, so last nite I sat in your driveway for 10 minutes. I found it, and thought you said it would be on the back porch? It was not. I even walked around to the front, but there werent any lights on; only a flickering T.V., so I thought everyone was sleeping. It wasnt until after 8:00. I commute from Denver and there was an accident on the hwy so that was as early as I could get there....but still....nothing on the back porch.
UGH!!!!! *slaps forehead agin
I have lost patience.... I replied thus:

You are trying my nerves. The DVD player is still sitting on the RAIL ON THE BACK PORCH where we left it. The porch light was on. If the TV was on someone was up. So sorry if they failed to notice you sitting in the driveway for a full 10- minutes. They were probably looking at the TV and not peering out the blinds.I was at church. The garage light AND the porch light were on when I got home. The DVD player was staring at me as I went up the ramp. You have one more chance. If it's not gone when we get up tomorrow it's hitting the trash can.
Went about my business....got this email:

So sorry I wasted a damn tank of gas trying to find the hole, because I keep my word. So sorry I thought you all fell asleep with the tv on. Some people DO go to sleep early. I was trying to be polite. Keep it. From the sounds of it, probably broken anyway and a waste of two days times trying to find the place.
OK I deserved it but hahahahahaha!!! Here's what I wrote back:
