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?

It sort of burst the utopia bubble doesn't it

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????

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

Default Criminals have the time.

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.
