    Have him put up a sign, indicating that the wood is being monitored by video. No need to even get a camera.

    Not gonna lie, I got chills when I saw your boy’s smile holding that Benjamin and hearing you read what the Good Samaritan wrote. Just awesome!

    Wow. It is nice to hear a good story. I bet the people that took the wood probably weren't in need; some people just like to take advantage.

    That was fastastic and no matter how good the news story was, the best is what that young man is learning. You are raising him right jrider.
