My neighbor lady thieves my plants. What to do?
So, this happens all the time. Yesterday while I was gone to the store, she came over here with a shovel and dug up my brand new, blooming hibiscus! I walked over there this morning, and lo and behold, it is planted in her yard.

Any suggestions?

Confront her then threaten to call the police if it happens again.

Will the police do anything.

Oh, this is NOT the first time this has happened. She scours people's yard for things she wants and TAKES them. She digs up our plants or snips them off down to the nub.

I want to be "nice", and not really create a scene.

I have helped her a great deal, but this is getting to be too much.

Thanks so much for your help!

dig a hole

put a land mine at the bottom

carefully cover it with wonderful plant and some dirt allround

bake some biscuits and put the katle to brew a nice spiced tea.

sit at the window and enjoy

Is she old and senile. If so she might not realize she's doing anything wrong. Just threatening to call the police might deter her.

more information is needed. do you have a fence? is this just a regular neighborhood...a mobile home park or a development with covenants? do you have keep out and/or no trespassing signs up? does she have mental issues or is she just plain crazy? does she have other relatives living with her? first thing is find the non emergency telephone number for police in your area and start there. maybe try a visible fake security camera and look online or local security stores for fake security signs and/or stickers that warn of 24 hr video surveillance.

Where in the USA do you live? It's at or below freezing for most of the entire Country. Only our most southern borders have temps suitable for planting.

Oh well, give it another day or two. The frost coming your way will take out the hibiscus plant.

Do you have number for a son or daughter?

If she isn't senile and old I'd call the cops.
Do you have the receipt for the plant?

I think the best solution would be to buy double the plants anytime you are planting anything and give her half before they are planted.

Well, I do not know why MORE information, but... NO, there is no fence. Yet, still the plant is in MY yard, as I planted it there. LOL I do not have signs either, but she has to come a good way over AND with a shovel to boot to dig up my little plant. There are really no covenants here except for the one she should already know, and that is thou shalt not creep into your neighbor's yard while she is gone and steal plants and whatever else you think you might see. LOL She also picked some of my blooming zinnia's and then took the seed heads for herself, as ALL my zinnia's were gone too.

She has her boyfriend living with her, none of her relatives. I do not think she has mental issues either. Just perhaps clepto issues.

Perhaps security cams then. I will check on getting signs too, thanks.

Old people are not the only ones that develop dementia. She obviously has some mental issues. Notify any family you can locate as well as the cops as she may have other problems as well.

It is much warmer climate here, but you are correct. It will get colder here, and soon her... I mean MY hibiscus will die from the shock and the cold.
