A Study: The Workshop

Just about a week or so after I took these pictures, someone broke into our basement and stole a bunch of Mark's tools. Luckily, they did not head upstairs into the main house. And luckily, (it appears) the theif was scared off mid-burglary...leaving behind piles of the more expensive tools it seemed he had gathered to take with him, and even leaving behind of couple of his own things: a hard hat and some muddy work boot/galloshes. We filed a police report and the crime lab came by to collect the burglar's things. That was over a week ago, and we still haven't heard anything. The guy apparently came back to slice open our trash and look through it (I imagine to collect the things he had left behind). It would also appear that he snagged our snow shovel. It looked like he had been planning on taking it the first time, but we didn't bother to put it inside afterwards and so...I guess we kind of deserved that one.

Anyway, Mark is working feverishly to erect a fence and locked gate to our backyard. I'm helping, too.

The following images are posted in memory of those burgled tools (no, these were not the tools stolen--although he did take some clamps--but the memorial still makes its point, yeah?):
