One of them matched the description of the "rose thief." This is just creepy having strangers wandering around in ones yard.

This post illustrates, in my opinion, 2 major problems with our society today:
1) Individuals undertaking
bad behavior without regard for the consequences.
Notice he just stood there when confronted and showed up in another yard later. One poster's comment about getting out his firearm did not seem to me to be unwarranted when the person did not leave...
he became a threat to the homeowner at that moment and may have had to face the consequences of his action!!!!
2) Many members of society (ie our board here) seem to want to minimize the bad actions of individuals, make excuses for them, and denigrate an honest opinion of how one poster would handle this threat to his property.
