Missing Indian Chief

A Flint Township woman hopes that the person or people responsible for making her life more difficult will give it a rest already.
The woman has been a practicing Wiccan witch for the past 45 years, and she believes it has been made her a target for thieves in her neighborhood.
During the last five years, thieves have made off with parts of her yard's solar lights, a color changing tree and a shepherd's hook with accompanying wind chime. They froze her 50-gallon trash can into a snow bank by the front steps to her home.
But it was the thieves' most recent target that drew the woman's anger -- her 2-foot-tall, 60-pound, solid-cement American Indian chief is now missing.
"My learning-disabled daughter bought the chief for me as a memorial stone for the son I miscarried, so I am sure you can understand the emotional ties that he has for me," the woman said.
She said she hasn't filed a police report yet, and she would drop the whole issue if the chief, adorned in a full headdress, is returned to her and she is left alone.
"I just want it returned -- no questions asked," the woman said. "You know where you took it from, just please bring it back."
So, to whoever took it, do the right thing. Return the chief, and stop being a jerk.
