A pox on these thieves who steal our lovelies! Bought my Mom a stunning pink tuberous begonia in a hanging pot. It was stolen in a flash - I replaced it. I secured it with mucho wires. You guessed it-another visitor in the night came with wire cutters & made off with it.

I cannot imagine the sense of entitlement one must have to steal blooming tulip bulbs from the ground!

This shocked me: went to the hospital for a few days and my neighbor took my 8 ft. umbrella from the patio. When I was feeling better I drove around & spied it. He said "I heard you were not long for this world." He didn't have the good grace to be ashamed. BLIMEY!
