Don’t Pick My Flowers!!!

August 29, 2014 by Shelly

flower thiefGood morning everyone! TGIF! I am glad the 3-day weekend is almost upon us as I have a LOT to do this weekend before the wedding! YIKES…only a week away and still…stuff to do!

Anyway, on Wednesday I had a lot of DRAMA going on here which totally screwed up my day. We have had issues with people turning around in our driveway (every day) and people driving by who like our “flowers” who stop alongside the road, get out and help themselves. Well, I am tired of it!

On Wednesday a van pulled up with a man & woman in it. They get out, look around and then head into my yard and both of my neighbor’s yards and helped themselves to our flowers! WTH? How disrespectful is that?

First of all, this is private property and you are trespassing! Second of all, you are stealing and that is theft! Our landscaping flowers cost us money and time and they are NOT there for your FREE picking!

I took numerous photos of this going on through my windows of them picking flowers and loading them up into the back of their van. I got a good closeup shot of their license plate and called the police. They came out, took a report, collected my photos and the thieves are in some serious hot water because I as a good citizen and got all the proof the cops would need. Blah!

Photo above shows the thief with her face whited out!

    Unbelievable! The audacity is staggering. Good for you, for defending your home and your beautiful landscaping, which you’ve put so much time and effort into.

    First ~ congrats to the winners. I am disbelief that people would actually do that! This home is going to really cause your blood pressure to skyrocket before it’s all over. I am so glad that you had it together and took the photos. WTG! The sad thing is that these people looked around so they knew what they were doing was wrong but did it anyways. I hope that they police finds them.

    Congrats to the winners and brickbats to your flower pickers. I’m glad you got their info to give to the police. Remember to take at least a few minutes for yourself this weekend.

    Wow, that take a lot of nerve! I can’t believe that they don’t knock on your door and ask if you can spare a few flowers! I can’t believe those selfish people that have no consideration for someone elses time, money and effort and they claim the benefits of all your hard work for themselves!

    I myself have recently experienced a few of these instances for myself this week, one with my homemade jam that I brought over to neighbors. The lady now wants my personal (made up as I went) recipe for my plum jam, my plums and let it slip that she told someone she made it when she shared some. *sigh* The other, I won’t mention here. lol

    (Don’t Pick My Flowers!!!) It takes all kinds of people in the world to do something this disrespectful, as Judge Judy always says it’s The Dumbing Down Of America-
