The face of stolen bonsai

2021 was a very different year in every city. Not really relevant from a statistical perspective, especially when you add all the crazy "news" "reporting" about the city. Felt odd getting calls from random people asking if Seattle was still standing every couple of weeks. Also I wouldn't trust our crime statistics since because our police have opted out of doing their job, quite literally
The downfall of Seattle and WA from the view of 30k feet is this all might just be a primer and/or catalyst for Socialism.
lmao 🙄
 
Show winning tree in a nursery can: Just a shrub.

Woody weed in shiny ceramic: That's the good stuff!
This is the exact reaction I tend to get from my friends.

"Hey I'm really proud of this one."
"That things in a garbage pail! I like this one (in a cheapo production pot with not much going on above the soil line)"

c'est la vie
 
I have videos of youngsters roaming the neighborhood at night checking for unlocked vehicles so if my trees look just mildly attractive and available, I am sure they will be taken.

Here is a thread merge idea. What if I set out a bald cypress dunked in piss for bait?😁
@HorseloverFat has already tried that with a juniper 🤣

Not sure I blame them considering how they’re treated 🙄

the crime sensationalism in the media the past few years is so wild! But it is pretty funny is seeing self described tough guys/men’s men being shaken to their cores at the thought of a lunch in SF or Portland. But you are correct about the police, they prefer to harass people more than help, especially in my city: Police are not primarily crime fighters

Shows how good my trees are. I have vagrants walking through the middle of my garden every day and nobody has taken crap 🤣
I had to read that twice. At first I thought you said nobody has taken a crap and I thought and you want them to?

Actually, I've found lots of human crap around the property. Luckily, none that have served as "cakes" yet
 
Protect your property and arm yourself
I'm somewhat of a radical pacifist, so I'd rather get shit stolen than harm a person

... at very least a camera or signs etc.
now we DO have some cameras... they're on a CC system that we don't use, but that still might be something.

Yes, the "crime sensationalism" is outrageous....

...but there's no such thing as "Police Brutality Sensationalism", right?.... 5,000,000 arrests a year and the whole nation is in flames when a single apprehension goes wrong.

You can't even trust the government statistics any more... how do you record a crime if the arrest goes untried?? I doubt that even if this woman who stole this tree were caught, she would face any charges.

I’m in your camp regarding being more of a pacifist and admittedly been blasé about security. However, I recently did add some cameras and fully insured the Bonsai collection(the cameras were a requirement for both the recent vehicle additions and the Bonsai collection coverage). I’m tempted to post some “premises under surveillance” notices so knowing they’re being watched might prevent an attempt. I’ve also started burying air tags at every tree’s repot 🤐
