We live on a busy road . front area exposed. were out for aprox 4 hrs came home to our three terracotta pots planted up with shaped balls. and a cane basket with a white impatient plant inside it. all gone taken in broad daylight . very p. off. lowlifes . were either watching us go out out and had checked out things before hand. (Northshore)

If that happens always check the local markets.
A friend had all their plants taken a few years ago and a neighbour spotted them at a market.they got most back.
Lousy low life beings

Funny thing - this thread gave me a nightmare last night. I dreamed I was chasing a dark coloured ute up the drive laden with my pots.

When I was living in Remuera, I got home from work one day to find all of the old fashioned roses gone out of my front garden. they just dug the entire 6 foot tall plants out and took the whole lot in broad daylight.

Poppy2005. That is day light robbery. ! Can't believe no one saw that happening! ( neighbours etc)

We had our drive gate stolen ( solid) and all the fittings when we had to move out because of the quakes. The neighbor rung to describe the whole incident ( white ute two guys thirty minute operation etc ) and when I asked her for the registration plate number she hadn't bothered to take it. The police could not believe it and neither could I. By the way we never got it back.

dfd1, Jan 28, 1:47pm
Has anyone out in security cameras . we are looking into it. ?

poppy2005, Jan 28, 2:03pm
Nobody saw a thing . I recon it was one of the neighbours who did it.

I have a video of a guy stealing a couple of large gates after a house was removed. He came back twice on other nights to steal timber and metal. I found out where he lives, from the car he was selling on TM. The police were not interested. The property owner didn't seem interested. There's a new house and gate there now.
