What is a Jumping Cholla - JCE Inc.

They could plant some of these. No one would go near there.

Is that worse than someone not picking up after their dog.

Do people take pictures of that and send them to the police.....?

Hmm

There are way too many instances here in TV where folks just can't stay out of other people's business.

I remember picking flowers from a neighbor for my mom when I was about seven. Mom made me go to my neighbor and tell her that I STOLE her flowers. As a consequence, I had to help my neighbor for three hours every Saturday for a month. For some strange reason, I never again picked flowers without permission. Shame these folks never learned that lesson. Doubt saying anything would have made a bit of difference.

Chill out and enjoy your retirement.

Unfortunately I see more and more of this kind of thing happening.

If I had my cell phone handy I may have hollered at them "Smile, you're on candid camera" and when they looked up snapped a shot and sent it to the unmentionable news site which seems to delight in such matters.

You can always take a picture of it on your cell phone of the offenders and sent it to the cops.
You really want to tie up the police with this type of crime?

Suggest they add a aspirin to the water in the vase and change it every 3 days.
Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

There is not that much crime in the Villages to tie them up with IMHO. In Wildwood and other parts of Sumter County yes there are more crimes.
