Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34772008 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! ~~Much Peace, Love, and Light~~Always Concerning life and death: I embrace both equally! |

Just threatening to call the police might deter her. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34772008 No, she is not old and senile at all. She is mid 50's. ~~Much Peace, Love, and Light~~Always Concerning life and death: I embrace both equally! |

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. Quoting: WishinForTheMission Any suggestions? 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. |

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.

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. ~~Much Peace, Love, and Light~~Always Concerning life and death: I embrace both equally! |

Notify any family you can locate as well as the cops as she may have other problems as well. . One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.
