These two trees and a few others were stolen from our small greenhouse and floral shop a few days ago. We are hoping that maybe someone will recognize them if we post in enough places. Thank you for looking. We aren't nearly as mad about the money lost as we are about how these trees are almost certainly in the hands of someone who doesn't appreciate them or know how to care for them. Thanks again for you time.

Same. A year ago they jumped my fence and stole my two best developed ones. Just ripped them out the pots and fled with them....leaving the pots behind. Tagged my fence to...I could kill !!!
Now I have CCTV, security lights and a infra red motion detecting alarm up.

That is so awful. I wish you the best. It's crazy to me how often this seems to happen, though. What is wrong with people?

Wow.....brazen fools.
I'm glad that I was able to move away from that.....for now.
I grew up in Baltimore City, being a constant victim of theft of all kinds....
Def could kill.....I feel ya.
CCTV is actually on the way now. Too bad we didn't have it before though. Makes your blood boil for sure.

Security system won't do much if the authorities are like around here. Crime committed, call and get a report number.
The police have been notified.

Welcome to Crazy!
I'm thinking it's a premature post.
This could keep em from being posted.
Either way, I hope someone takes a face punch!

There was a big theft at a nursery in SoCal, and I'm not sure to what extent they ever recovered. The thieves drove up behind the nursery in a truck and cut through a chain link fence. I heard they took quite a number of trees - including some that were chained down and retailed for $1000's.
The nursery installed a barred security fence that they now lock at night. However this also reduced their bonsai area in size. Thieves suck.
Though sometimes the thieves are bonsai enthusiasts, there are times they are not - and are just attracted to the trees as something they perceive as being valuable. In one case, at an exhibition in Florida, they caught a thief on security camera as he walked off with a large tree when the exhibition was being taken down. The Police were able to track the suspect to his home and recover the tree... and the individual had no experience in bonsai.

Sorry for your losses.
Yes, but without that report number you can't claim a loss for the year when doing taxes or put in a claim to your insurance.....everything has to be documented on paper.

For this reason and others..... I do not like doing business at home.
