what kind of lowlife steals an american flag off of somebodys house?

If you didn't have a light on the flag maybe someone took it down for you?

How did they see it to know it wasn't properly lit? :)

Sorry about the loss of your flag.

At least you're allowed to be patriotic in the US.

Here in England, its almost a racist offence to fly the St George Cross. :frown:

I am guessing it wasn't and someone took it because you were disrespecting it.

it's an anti-war prankster, most likely. I recall reading an article about anti-war people, their way of making themeselves known is by stealing the ribbons off cars. Maybe this is an extension of that.

because THAT makes sense.

Note: that wasnt directed towards you but to those people's actions instead.

This thread is quite funny.

It smells of someone suspecting terrorist stole the flag. Dubbya would be proud of you jumping to those conclusions.
