:clap_1: :clap_1: Thanks for taking the time to pick up after another person's disrespect for the land. I am always amazed how lazy some people can be...the earth is not a giant trash can.

Hey .... anybody seen our 2 Faded Folding Green Beach Chairs .... ?
Yes ... we did leave them at the beach .... under the boardwalk ....
We realize that most people here think this is a big no-no ....
We are not tourists ... we are locals that go to the beach everyday ....
We always pick up trash, cigarette butts, dig glass out of the sand and pull giant pieces of tent frames out of the water ... when we see chairs and such, we pick them up and move them under the boardwalk ... and arrange them very neatly ..... or throw them away if they are broken ....
We do our part to help keep the beach clean ... we have great respect for nature and love our beach .....
The Beach Chair & Umbrella rental companies at Gulfview Heights do not take the chairs and umbrellas away every night .... they pick them up and stack them under the boardwalk where the lifeguards were also leaving their things .... along with a kayak and a few other beach goodies .....
We are wondering why whoever took our chairs decided to pick and choose .... if it is the goal to remove all items left at the beach .... why would someone take our chairs .... and then leave the other shabby chairs, sand buckets, beach toys, beer cans, etc. It seems to us that if the idea is to remove things left at the beach overnight .... then everything should be disposed of .... not just the things that look good to you .....
We also have to make mention of something that happened while on a bike ride late yesterday .... we were cruising by a beach access near Vizcaya .... when we encountered a man in a red truck pulled over ... think it said Pinnacle Construction .... he was loading a bike into the truck which he had obviously taken from the bike rack by the boardwalk .... it all seemed a little sketchy .... the guy looked around as if to see if anyone was looking .... then loaded up the bike .... it just didn't feel right to us ... why if you rode your bike to the boardwalk would you then go get your truck to load it up instead of riding it home .....
Also, late Saturday night, a couple of kids stopped at our house claiming to be doing some kind of communications contest ... their spill sounded good so we let them on the porch thinking all they needed was someone to sign something saying they were here .... turns out they needed us to buy magazine subscriptions they claimed to get their points .... if we didn't need the magazine ... then we could buy one and send it to the childrens hospital .... they said they lived in Destin .... truthfully it was a little strange and honestly they commented on everything they saw of value on the porch .... now we feel like we can't trust leaving things on our porch .... it definitely feels like things are changing around here ..... reading the article about the stolen gator at Blue Orleans .... we wonder if crime has begin to creep into our quiet little sacred beach community .....
So all that said, if anyone reading this took our faded green beach chairs (similar to the ones the beach chair rental companies use) ... please return them and we will promise not to leave them again ....
