Landscapes? I think that should be seascapes.

I’ve heard of thieves stealing a lot of things but dreadlocks? What? Are they selling the hair to make wigs or something?

I doubt Haylee and Hannah bore the full weight of the tractor. It is probable that some of the tractor remained in contact with the ground. Still impressive, though.

If you don’t want your dreadlocks cut and stolen, don’t grow your hair out and braid them into such.

The real questions are, A) why are they worth anything at all, and if people want them, B) why would anybody want somebody else’s nasty hair? Ewww…..

Gee, that’s just what I’ve been looking for. A dead person’s dreadlock. Got a contact number? And thanks for the lead.

RE: dreads, for some folks, i.e. Rastafarians, it is not just fashion, but a part of their faith. I can see where it could happen as a hate crime. Why anyone would want them, who knows? Possibly some sort of ritual use? Vodun and Santeria developed from native African faiths, and both have rituals that use that sort of reflective magic.
