Soft wood construction grade lumber like the boards that got removed are actually very strong and resilient. These old boards were something like 15-years old, used multiple times for removing/installing my ancient aluminum 5'x10' dock sections.

They took a lick'n and kept on tick'n ...... like that old Timex Watch ad line ..... goes for soft wood construction grade lumber ..... and, their very high prices will come back down over the next six months or something.

These boards get soak'n wet, dried out in the sun, filled full of screw holes, rot sets in a few spots ..... and then the pandemic pushes up the prices so someone comes along and steals these old boards ...... is really kind of wacky ... that someone would take these six worn out, beat-up boards ..... all things considered. They did not look like anything too special ..... just some beat up lumber with brown stain from maybe five years ago.

............ oh well ..........??? ...... I like to think that whoever took it, went and recycled these old boards into constructing a 12'-high x 24'-wide tennis hitting backboard, down at ye olde tennis courts, and then gave it a good coat of dark green paint with a white line to simulate the tennis net ...... that's where it went!
