I am glad they retrieved the bonsai. Otherwise this is a sad tale for all parties...

Hooooooraaay!!! What a doofus. As someone said, imagine having to explain to your cell mate what you're in the klink for. "I stole a banazai tree...." Felony theft of a plant....

Good to hear they caught him, and relatively quick as well.

The only thing that could make that picture better is if he was wearing a fake gold chain.

Yay!!!!!!!

I don't think anyone can really hide that bonsai group with this kind of public attention. Am sure sooner or later the guy will be caught. It is a good thing that they caught him early so the trees are still alive.

If that's a $5,000 planting, I don't want to live in Ft. Myers!
