So, we started receiving the weekend package for the Tulsa World when there was a deal that worked out to be the same price as buying the Sunday paper only so we jumped on it. Well, we had been receiving our paper just fine for the past couple weeks - yeah sometimes it was under our car but at least we got it. Well...
Friday we wake up - no paper. We call and it's too late to get another so they credit our account.
Saturday we get our paper.
Sunday rolls around, my favorite time - getting to see the new coupons and ads... NO PAPER! So, I call them very upset and they said someone would bring another.
Sunday PM - We don't get home until 6:00PM and we still have no paper!
Monday AM - I call first thing this morning to complain. She sends someone out and they knock on the door and say that she was here yesterday and had seen the neighbors across the street lurking in their driveway... hmm...
She said she is going to start putting the paper on our step where it is somewhat out of view. I just don't know what to think. Was our paper lady lying? Does this really happen very much? People stealing papers?
Sorry this is in one clump, I can't get it to space my paragraphs...

I would imagine that some people would bother with stealing a newspaper. Did you go to Wal-Mart and get one?
I have definitely heard of people having their paper stolen. I hope that you have more success with her putting it on the porch.
As to the "no spaces", check to make sure when you make a post that you are not in HTML mode (check the little tabs above your post title).
go to the neighbors house and tell them the situation and ask them to be on the lookout if they see someone taking your paper :)
yes, people do steal papers. At our first apartment here our porch mates (college guys) would steal our paper. After reading, they would use it to grill. I just knocked on their door one day and asked them which section they were after, and told them I would be happy to leave it at the door, but I wanted to read mine first. :) They laughed, and said, sports please. HAHA! Problem solved.
yah for the new sister in law! boo for the paper being stolen!! :P
I believe it, I am sure it has happened to me. I like what Eryn said that sounds like a great idea! Let us know how it goes :)
