Or is it just the way the cookie crumbles?

An ode to kijiji and my fair city of Hamilton:
My BBQ Apron Will Never Know Happiness
Kijiji, tonight was the night. I bought a bbq and deck table from you, and it was good.
Some young bucks helped me move the items and it was good.
Then promptly someone stole the items in plain sight.
Gosh darnit, this city is amazing!
It giveth.
It taketh away.
Now I have no bbq, no coin and nothing but my kijiji/hamilton story to tell.
Have I been “kijiji-ed”? Will Hamilton redeem itself?
Until next time…

I can’t believe how much theivery goes on in the Hammer! My friend had her kid’s bike (tiny kiddie bike)stolen TWICE. It was worth nothing, sitting on their porch.. Nerve! In-laws had a car go missing from their driveway… on & on.
Hamilton!!! my fist is shaking at you!
Meg. I cannot believe it! I’m in shock. although I must say, I can’t wait for you to walk through the door and tell me all about it tomorrow. You are a very good story teller!
Don’t worry. We’ll get you a BBQ. You’re cute apron will not go to waste on my watch.
There are burgers to be grilled and kabobs to be shish’d – we will get your a BBQ!
I really can’t believe someone took it right off of the truck. Shame on you Hamilton, shame on you!
I just posted a “WANT” add on kijiji. This story will come full circle.
Hello BBQ lady sorry bout yer loss keep smiling all will be remedied I have solid proof that what goes around comes around.
Some years ago a young buck stole a battery off me after I had warned the same guy after he tried to borrow some tools which i was using at the time…
I was granted the privilege of buying him lunch and beer. he promptly snuck onto my property and took my battery.
Which I promptly discovered when I tried to start the car..
I knew right away who it was.. so I confronted the slimer..he decided to teach me a lesson which quickly went south and I had to bop him once and then I subdued him.(sat on him).
Cause he was a rat too and i got charged.. but 8 years later I find he was prosecuted for theft and in the slammer.
Me i have record now an no money to get it cleaned.
Anway keep smilin meghan
