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!

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
