    When I got home from work yesterday and there was 2 bags of groceries on the front porch of my house. I had no idea what it was, I though my wife might of put them there for some reason. I brought them in and the food didn't look like stuff we would buy. So I dig a little further and find a couple of envelopes. One had $20 bucks cash and a Kroger gift card with who knows how much on it. The other envelop was a card that said "Let us know if there is anything we can do, We are here for you." It was unsigned.

    My wife and I have no idea who put these there and why. I guess it was mistaken identity. We don't think it is for our next-door neighbors. One we know pretty well and the other house is empty.

    Should I keep the loot or what? We put them back outside today with a note. How long do we hold on to them? Maybe someone just feels sorry for us for some reason? I'm hungry! I don't know the last time I had a canned ham! yum!

    I wouldn't keep it. Seems like a case of mistaken identity and that the food was meant for somebody in a bad situation.

    I put that there for you when I was in town. I thought you needed it. It was all part of my volunteer work as cub scout leader of troop 2112. :D

    Well if you actually do need it, keep it. If not I am sure you can find somebody who does. It's really up to you, just telling what I would do. :)

    When I was running a theater in Houston, the last week before opening a play was always very stressful. Tech rehearsals over the weekend were especially intense, lasting twelve hours both days. One Friday night before tech weekend I got home and found a care package my girlfriend had left on my porch. It was a grocery bag filled to the top with all my favorite foods (tricky since I'm vegan), a six pack of Lone Star tallboys, a couple packs of smokes and p*rn. She rocked.

    Maybe someone is about to bring hard times on you. What are you planning, rockHEAD? A rocket attack? LOL

    Maybe they know how much of a Rockets fan you are and left that stuff when Juwon Howard went down with the sprained knee.

    That, my friend, is the definition of a keeper. That brings a tear to my eye. Beer, smoke, and p*rn.:D

    They're "there for you" but they don't sign the card?

    Yeah, that's kinda creepy. It's more like "we're here watching you, and you don't know who we are, muhahaha."
    Maybe it's a sign to buy a home security system. :D

    Or maybe she was telling him that he wasn't getting any so he might as well get drunk, whack off and smoke some cigs by himself.

    Uh oh. Looks like somebody saw Mrs. Meowgi pawning groceries for dog track money. Don't feel bad man. It happens to the best of us.

    Donate the cash to your favorite charity and drop the groceries off at the shelter.
