“Dear PoPville,

To be clear, I parallel parked like normal, and went into Church only to come out to find this. I may have tapped the car behind me, and to be honest, my bumper isn’t the mess this note suggests. I went over to the police department to see if anything had been filed. Nothing.

Does anyone else find it odd this person typed this up? Is it possible others have received these and this is just a scare tactic?”


God bless my neighbor for sending this from the North Cleveland Park Nextdoor message board.

The accompanying text said:

“Did any of you leave a potato in the garden of my apartment building? Why would someone do this?”

Yes, why? WHY would someone do this indeed. And with this a new bar has been set. So keep your flower thief messages on hold but keep your eyes peeled for more potatoes please.
