Re: [Highland Park] Strange plant coincidences

Speaking of strange thefts, the gutter downspout was stolen off our garage. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Is perhaps the cost of recycled metal high enough to make this a profitable crime? It seemed awfully weird to us. Michelle Butler Sweeney, Dan wrote:

I just found out that a neighbor had a plant stolen from her porch the other day. Unfair and unfortunate, but usually unremarkable. Except for this. Two weeks ago, a plant was stolen, _from out of the ground_, in our front yard. Another neighbor told me that a few years ago, there was a rash of plant theft in the neighborhood. She didn't believe that the perpetrators were ever caught.

Strange plant coincidences, that I thought I would pass on to the group.
