Backyard theft in 3100 block Abell Avealley</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4>I have seen police stop a woman with
hanging pots in a baby stroller. One year we had two stolen from
our front porch on Mother's Day. The police said that a witness saw
the thief standing on the porch rail to steal them. I hate to think
of the lawsuit if he had fallen. I now take an indelible marker to all
of the pots and mark them verry visibly "Stolen From (my
address)". Not pretty, but have not lost any since then.</FONT></DIV>

<P>So what do people do with these stolen plants? Trade them for
drugs? Sell them to a pawn shop? Take back to their own garden
to help beautify their community? Give them to the mother-in-law for
her birthday?</P>
<P>I know people will steal anything that's not bolted down, but the
possibilities of what one does with a stolen plant makes me giggle. If
I were a criminal, I'd go for the lawn furniture, grill, or cordless drill
before I'd go for a plant.</P>

<DIV>Neighbors on Abell Avenue and probably most of Charles Village should
be aware that some one entered a back yard and took a large blooming
plant from the back porch. The plant was an pink Australian
Impatience. This happened around 10 pm. This was the
Abell/Barclay alley, 3100 block.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know every once in a while there is an epidemic
of plant stealing. The fact that some one would
enter a yard, have to walk a good distance to get on the porch, did it with
lights on in the house and the adjoining houses seems really
brash. It would help if everyone would be on the lookout.</DIV>
