To Catch a Thief...

...or in this case a vandal.

Here's the story. Howard installed lattice around the base of our deck this summer. It looked really nice until one day I realized that something had chewed part of one of the openings bigger.

Grrr! We were not pleased but had no idea what was doing it. We did see a rabbit run out from under our deck once and the neighbors have all been complaining of a rabbit wreaking havoc on decks and flower beds.

We set out a humane trap last week and lo and behold we caught ourselves a rabbit! (Don't worry no animals were harmed. We took the vandal to my brother's house where the rabbit was released into the woods). After we caught it we found out it had chewed through another part of the lattice. Apparently this critter had something against white, vinyl lattice. At least we feel like we got justice for the damage caused.
