Some low-life pinched a bay tree from our front porch yesterday evening; if anyone saw somebody carrying one off / loading it into a car yesterday between 7-10pm, please let me know. Can't believe that you can't even leave potted plants and trees out these days without risk of theft. Some people are so low. Sad that I'm now actually considering getting cctv installed.
There must have been a plant thief scouting the area last night. I had my lovely glazed window box stolen last night too. It was a present & looking lovely. Yes very sad that you cannot have pots etc in your front garden without having some thief take them. Wonder if they'll be for sale at some car boot?

Hi kojohn..


Sorry to here about your tree..


I have just decked my tiny front garden and added some white pebbles..


I was thinking about a nice wooden planter with a Bay Tree and was wondering

how long it would be there before some oik nicked it..


The area has become a target fot opportunist low-life..

My front garden pots and planters are all recycled junk... The plants look pretty in them, but no one can be bothered to nick them. Although a couple of years ago someone nicked a chilli plant in a nice pot. I hope they made the mistake of eating them because they were volcano hot.
The plant thieves have also been active in Camberwell Old Cemetery. I recently saw a message to them which has been placed on a grave by the family. It accuses them, in rhyme, of not only stealing the plants, but coming back for the lantern hooks. The poem goes on to say that the occupant of the grave did not like thieves, so his skeleton will haunt them to the end!

    • Silly question, but would it not have been someone at  the school who marked the mock, and if so (rotten teaching notwithstanding) could they not say why she fell short? I hope you find someone who can help.

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
