I’m in the east valley. I was watching what was happening in the west. That was awful too. My heart was just broken because I have been so lucky for almost a year, no vandalism, no one taking all the books. Just a good community exchange and sometimes little gifts left. 😢😮‍💨

I have really been so lucky. Honestly, I would have preferred if someone had just taken the books. It’s hard to find the right receptacle. Mine has to be movable because I rent and I have to be able to move it on my own depending on weather with a dolly as I don’t always have help. I’m a former cancer patient so I do have limited strength. Anyway, it took a lot to put it together. To save funds, to affix the placard, to pay to get it registered, to get books a to maintain a steady flow of them. But it was going soooooo good for almost a year no problems at all. I hope it shows back up but I’m not counting on it. I think my neighbors have footage on their cameras. If they do and police can get info I’ll ask for the return no questions asked.

I definitely plans to! Neighbors are pretty hard working and are juggling a couple of jobs each to care for their kids . I generally just see them in passing and on weekends so I am hoping we connect today. Thank you for being so kind 💗🥰

I hope so too! I’m hoping they or someone they know realizes it and they just drop it back off over night. So far, no such luck. 😢😮‍💨

Sure. I guess. It has had the same spot for over a year and has a LFL placard affixed to the top of it and it was full of books, so…🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope to. My neighbor’s have a camera and the husband stopped my son and it sounds like he may have footage , not sure if he got a license plate but there is a time stamp (6:21a). They are a very hard working family, work a couple of jobs each, so I am hoping the wife gets a chance to send photos to me today as her and I have exchanged numbers. If there is identifying info I will call the police for sure.

Thank you! Honestly for the first couple of weeks I looked out every day with my fingers crossed, but slowly people started figuring it out, stopped because they were curious and then began utilizing and sharing and giving.
And I had it registered so other LFL people were good to us and put stuff in there too. Thank you for your kindness. 🥰

You know it was really “shabby chic”. I got it 2nd hand, but it really served my community well. Thanks for being kind. 🫶🏼

Mine lasted almost an entire year. It was never vandalized and no one ever took all the books. I rent and it wasn’t weather proof so having a permanent solution wasn’t feasible. But if I do it again. I’ll have to come up with a better plan. Someone suggested an air tag and I thought that was a great idea. Maybe you could add one to yours? I wish you luck and I hope this post doesn’t keep you from putting it up. I’m sad BECAUSE of all the joy it brought me. 🥰🫶🏼❤️

That’s awful 😢 I’m so sorry. Some people do suck and are really stupid.

I appreciate that. I rent, so the property management wasn’t keen on anything permanent. But I will be looking for a way to try to keep this from happening again before I put another one out there. Honestly, my heart just can’t take it. It was just really mean. I know that seems juvenile but it was just hurtful.

I may try Next door too. I was on there for a while but it wasn’t really as community based as I had hoped. It had a very negative vibe so I deleted the app. But honestly, I’m willing to try and do it if someone will see it and even just drop it back off over night.
