From Cupcake Land FYI: the magnetic rainbow flag with hearts instead of stars was stolen off

[patrice]

of my car this p.m. while I was grocery shopping.

Need I mention that it was NOT torn in pieces and thrown onto the car hood or the ground in order to make that kind of point.

It was simply gone.

1. Perhaps someone admired it and didn't know where to get one?

And just decided that since your car was so nice you could afford another flag?

Or they're just an asshat tea leaf(thief).

4. I think that's what happened. At the HyVee, big store, lots of comings & goings . . .

but my car is about 10 years old, in good shape, but not that nice compared to a lot of what you see around Cupcake Land.

2. It could have been a little kid that saw it, really liked the colors, and snuck away with it. n/t

3. Little kid? not in the company of an adult? Around here? Nope. Not likely. nt

5. Cupcake Land? There's a place called CUPCAKE LAND?!?!?

8. Damn, should have known it would be a disappointment

Sorry about your magnetic flag. If it's any consolation, I lent my copy of What's the Matter With Kansas to someone who never returned it.

7. Do you live in a snow state?

Could freesing/snow/ice/salt accumulation have been a factor?

9. We had maybe 2" a few days before Christmas. Then it froze solid, so no slush.

Perhaps the last time that I noticed it was about that time, but also cannot think of how it got removed, except when I was out somewhere, intentionally. The magnetic sticker has been on there for about 2 years now; nothing else that car has been through in that time removed it and the grocery store is the place I go most often now.
