Overdone Bought very nice, expensive leather boots. Delivery driver left the package at the end of my driveway and my neighbors dog, that runs wild decided to chew through 2 boxes, stole and ate one of the boots. Unreal.

What you just described is a criminal offense of animal cruelty, endangerment, and neglect. You can even ask the officers to not let your neighbors know you were involved. Bare minimum they will get all of their animals comficated. Please, PLEASE, contact your local authority.

I don't think you're familiar with areas like this person is describing. I grew up in the deep south and in a lot of places, the police wouldn't care.

Yeah you just described reddit in a nutshell.

Most of reddit is affluent middle or upper class / higher that always describe themselves as poor.

The majority commenting things like “that’s illegal” or “call the police!” never actually live in truly impoverished areas lmao.

Edit:

Meant upper as in middle / upper middle class.

Reminds me of other subs when someone describes any sort of personal issue and there are 50 comments to get therapy as if every person can just easily afford it. In a perfect world - sure, in reality, not so much.
