  • sprouts rubens stolen

    Went to my plot today to check on things after the bad winds and found that one of the greenhouses as lost a few glass panels .
    I can live with that as its nature .what I don't like is I've grown these special sprouts from seed for nearly a year and to find that that some tramp who has clearly got a key thinks it's ok to steal other plot holders produce.

        Any theft is bad but when its one of your own that makes it worse.

          It's happened to me before, Jonny - it's soul-destroying.

            What a horrible thing to find I'd be very upset. Can you let everyone know that there is a thief amongst you? It may stop them.

              I would laminate something like this & stick it on the shed or on a stake in a bed:

                            I would get the Secretary to affix a notice to the gate saying:-

                            " Any plot holder caught stealing produce or anything else off another plot will be instantly evicted from their plot and will face Police prosecution" BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE!
                            My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
                            to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
