Trixie found this morally and grammatically curious note pinned to clothesline in her boyfriend’s Detroit neighborhood. So, uh, if you’re looking for a safe house after a prison break…

Presumably the note writer doesn’t feel the need to inform potential clothes stealing escape convicts that they’re bad because they already know.

So, stealing clothes makes you a bad person, but being an escaped convict doesn’t?

What about if you steal them and then give them to a homeless person?

Well, at least the escaped convict will blend right in with that orange and hot pink printed wrap-around skirt.

Bad, schmad. It’s too cold to be running around naked. I needed them.

I would not want to accuse an escaped con of being a bad person, either. They might bust a cap in my ass after wrapping themselves in that fantastic orange-paisley sheet.

On a related note (sort-of)…see that garbage can in the background between the cars? Do you think someone is using that to save their spot?

Clearly, as with the removal of tacky lawn ornaments, these acts of clothing thievery fall under the category crimes committed “for the common good”. FOR CRYIN’ OUT FUCKIN’ LOUD–these people are hangin their greige undies and stretched-out-of-shape leggings out ALONG THE EDGE OF A PUBLIC ROAD!!! Note the two-way street, people: the note writer hasn’t been drying out her poor fashion choices in the privacy of a backyard, she’s been forcing her neighbors to watch her spandex unmentionables and polyester shouldn’taboughtems. Team anti-eyesore.

If you steal these clothes I just want you to know that I’m running out of underwear so when your done doing whatever it is your doing with my panties can you please bring them back. You could just hang them back on the line no questions axed.
(unless yer an escaped convict)

That paisley wrap would look awesome on someone who had escaped from Guantanamo Bay. It would really make a pretty accent to the orange jumpsuit.

If you steal these clothes, I just want you to know that your taste in clothing sucks.
(unless you happen to be on the lam and are so desperate that you would wear this ugly paisley shawl)

Looking at the garment left behind, I feel comfortable saying that should have been a letter of apology.

I imagine it’s because escaped convicts would have a good reason to need her clothes, (to get out of their convict clothes) where anybody else would be doing it just out of spite or selfishiness. But she didn’t think of people who accidentally got locked out of their house while naked, or time travellers from the future who quickly need to change their futuristic clothes to fit in so they don’t interfier too much with the space-time continuum.

Never discriminate against an escaped convict.
Given the state of the criminal justice system, there’s a 50% chance she/he is innocent!

Reminds me of when some white trash neighbors of mine put up a sign on their car that said “missing license plate because some1 stoled it.”
Written by adults.
Who have bred/produced children.
Who are going to perpetuate such moronic tendencies.
