    In very annoying news just noticed the Buxus tree we have outside our door in the drive is missing complete with the solar lights. The 🤬left the pot it’s in behind so that must’ve been too heavy for them.

    Do you have a photo of it SA?  If so I’d be tempted to post a photo or description on Next Door and see if anyone shops the tea leaf

    Oh that's awful. We've had people nick plants from a community garden where there's a notice to let people know they can take herbs but 'leave enough for the bees'.

    Our neighbour lost 2 heavy plant pots earlier in the year.

    Outrageous.  The cheek of some people to take a plant from outside a front door.

    A friend also had a similar tree stolen from her front garden a while ago. She lives in a cul de sac in a small village so someone must’ve gone out of their way to take it. She was out walking and thought she spotted it in another garden, obviously she couldn’t be 100% sure but it was quite distinctive. 

    I don’t have a ring camera or a photo of it. Thankfully it wasn’t worth much, it wasn’t anything great, the plant was plastic and the lights were only cheap ones. It’s the thought of someone purposefully coming down the drive to take it 😡
