I took the trash up this morning to find my flag gone from my flag pole. From the looks of the foot prints in the snow, it was several someones. It is upsetting because friends put it up for me in honor of my family that served; I have plaque at the base in honor of them.

The question is, would you report it?
The next question, what would you do about replacing it?

Having a pole with no flag seems ridiculous but I am afraid this will become an issue if I replace to be taken again. It is not as though it is expensive but it is the act and disrespect of taking it that bothers me more. Perhaps I should look into cameras to catch them should they come back, are they expensive? Should I let it go and just replace it, let it be, and that if they need flags that badly, just let them have them?

What would you do?
