Stolen Orchids

[kaydee]

To the lowlife who decided to help his/her self to several beautiful orchids from my neighbors back yard, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Did you sell them to acquire some quick cash or did you need to spruce up your landscaping?
If any of our TOTV readers happen to notice several beautiful orchids that recently showed up in your area I'd appreciate a pm regarding the location. BTW, the police were notified.

They dug them out, roots and all? And in the back yard? Are they expensive?

Orchids are not planted in the ground.They are of the air fern family.

My orchids must be confused. They are PLANTED in a pot:1rotfl:

[kittygilchrist]

what a blooming idiot to steal your orchids. You might want to notify the orchid club, I don't know why but you might want to.

Neptune plant or Air fern is a name given to a product that is composed of a species of marine animal called Sertularia argentea, also known as the "sea fir". (Wikipedia)
Air Fern is sold as an an artificially preserved decoration- not sold as a living plant.

Orchids are not, not, NOT of the 'air fern family'.

MOST varieties of Orchids are Epiphyte (grows harmlessly on another plant in Nature)
Some however, are Terrestrial (grows in soil) and ARE planted in the ground in our zone.

Hope they find a more secure way to enjoy orchids- what a shame.

That has happened to me over the years. All the people had to do was knock and ask. Gave up my veggie garden years ago briefly do to people that I caught stealing.

That is not acceptable.

I have very many rare camouflage orchids in my pine straw mulch. They are rare because they look like weeds. I hope nobody takes them. I will pm you my address if you would like to see for yourself and tell you when I am golfing.

I've learned throughout life that if it's not bolted down, locked up or hidden from view, someone (and that includes Villagers) will steal it. Not saying it was a Villager, just that if given a chance, some will lie, cheat, steal, drive drunk, do drugs, put a gun to their wife's head, etc., etc.

These were several beautiful orchids that were in hanging pots in my neighbors backyard.
Appreciate comments of interest and concern and see no purpose for the bobcat, coyote or vegan coyote comments.

This would have to be a crime of opportunity. Most of us don't desire other people's flowers and we can afford to buy them for ourselves. I find this very puzzling why anyone would take anyone's flowers with so many lovely flowers just everywhere. Who do you suspect, kaydee?

Yea, and during my move in somebody lifted my Craftsman screwdrivers. I suspect men did that...everybody knows a woman does not need good tools...
Pi**ed, Kitty

I don't much believe in crimes of opportunity much as I love Gracie. There's always an opportunity for thief to Steal.

I am not even sure what a crime of opportunity is. It is wrong to steal anything, ever, period.

Are you sure a woman doesn't want good tools????:1rotfl:

(Sorry, but I've already posted that I can't resist a good straight line, and I had to beat Tomwed to it)

[Jima64]

Ever see the person or maybe two cruising along looking at everything. Looking for the chance to take something. Maybe even stop and chat a moment with you if your garage is open. Checking things out. I know my neighbors and friends. The rest just move on down the street, and I also have memorized your car tag. Keep moving.

I also find this very puzzling why someone would just help themselves to someone else's personal property. It is so upsetting to the homeowners as they've had them for years, cared for them, and really had a green thumb with them as they were quite huge and very beautiful.
Gracie, I don't have anyone in mind as a suspect, but whoever it may be surely is a lowlife & should be ashamed

We have a very elderly lady down the street. She walks with a walker. I have few tomatoes planted on the corner bed. That ripe tomato is picked as she walks by. It's ok, I have plenty. Flowers on the other hand are just wrong.
