Letters: There are some mean people in this world

Hi Mr. Sea.

You know by now it shouldn\’t shock me as to how heartless people really are.

Last week I came out my door and I saw my neighbor across the street looking at her car; she was saying something to my other neighbor.

Then I saw a cat lying under her car. She said to me, \”someone just threw the cat out of the car in front of your house\”. I thought I misunderstood her. She repeated it again, \”somebody pulled up to your house and opened the car window and threw the cat out the window and took off.\”

I checked the cat out and he was ok, no injuries.

We tried to find the car but we couldn’t. We called the police and the cop who answered the call in my opinion was very rude. Like I was bothering him.

I was told there is a building the City has been using for strays and so I asked the cop if we could take this cat there.

He said there wasn\’t such a place.

I know there is one.

We didn\’t want to take him to the county shelter since the county is not a NO kill shelter. The cop says he wasn’t going to take him so let him go.

Tell me this Mr. Sea, wouldn’t I be breaking the no leash law if I followed his instructions.


Please if anyone knows anything about this cat or the person responsible for this horrific act let me know through The NoteBook.
  

Thank You Mr. Sea

Chuckles: Italian Tomato Garden

 

An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant
 his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.

His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won\’t be able
 to plant my tomato garden this year. I\’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.

I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love,
Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don\’t dig up that garden. That\’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie



At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived
 and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.

That same day the old man received another letter from his son

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That\’s the best I could do
 under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie

Wednesdsay: TIPS AND SNIPPETS

I received the following letter in today’s mail (Wednesday) about sex offenders living in our city who are residing close to some schools and play grounds. The letter begins,

Bill, I\’m sure you\’ll agree long gone are the days of this tight knit community in which everyone knew each other and we all looked out for one another. So sad.

During a recent search of http://familywatchdog.us/ I noted that Gloucester City houses quite a number of registered sex offenders, ten to be exact. This website, along with the information it offers, is little known to our residents. I was SHOCKED to find just how many offenders are in town, let alone IN THE AREA OF SCHOOLS with one even LIVING NEXT TO A PARK AND A SCHOOL BUS STOP! This monster is a Tier II – Moderate Risk of re-offense and HE LIVES NEXT TO A PLAYGROUND AND A BUS STOP!
