Default Australian Flag stolen!

I'm proud to celebrate Australia Day every year and have always flown a flag no matter where I've been since I was a teenager.

I am so disapointed that some low-life thought my Australian flag (that I had flying from my verandah) would be better of with them. Rare flag that had been with me for over 27 years gone because an inconsiderate person who doesn't deserve to be called Australian stole it!

After nearly 3 months of coming home each day and hoping for my flag to be back on the porch it has finally happened.

Thankyou to who ever it was that returned it!

Put a little sign up on your verandah saying " Thank you for returning my flag". And in smaller print " but not for stealing it in the first place".
I guess you also need to secure it better also.

Thats great to hear that. I'm guessing someone's parents found it in their room and returned it for them :P

Just in time for upcoming ANZAC day, too. Great to hear someone's conscience got the better of them. Or maybe their Mum made them bring it back, snort!

Ironically it was thousands of thieves and other low life scumbags that built this country called Australia.

Yeah, when my car got broken into the night before All Ford Day. They stole the Aussie flag that was on my back seat for the show. Also $300 of CD's, but the Aussie flag was so low.
