DEAR ANNIE: A set of neighbors used to live across the street from me. When they did, I thought they were really nice, but I found out later -- too late -- that they were meth addicts who stole anything that wasn’t nailed down, including from me. I discovered they would watch when I’d leave and go into my house. I’m 74 and from the era when we didn’t lock our doors, much to my detriment.
Eventually, they moved away but kept and still own that house. It was bliss having them gone. They rented out the house for a while until it burned down one evening. The man decided to rebuild it himself, and now the stealing has started again. Two days ago, two packages were stolen from just outside my gate. I know in my soul this man did it, but I don’t have proof. I’m poor and don’t have enough money t
