Agave stolen
Even better, put it on facebook. We had a carved Hare stolen from a junction
out in the country. EVERYBODY loved it and were outraged when someone put a
chain saw to it and nicked it. A posting on facebook went round the world
and all of a sudden it was found in a prominent place .......

South East Coast of the Isle of Wight where it has been a very pleasant day.

Went downstairs this morning at about 07.30 and noticed the front gate was
open, looked out and there it was gone.
One of our two large Agave americana Marginata, the biggest one that was
given to me by a friend over 40+ years ago as a tiny offshoot. They have
both been in our front garden for years. Has to have been a "professional"
job as it probably needed two to carry it in it's tall square clay pot, I
use a wheeled truck to move it, and they would need some sort of
protective
gear, certainly needed a van or pickup to move it away.
Unfortunately I haven't got 40 years to grow another that big!

You might ask the local paper to run an article on the theft, with a
pic of the plant if you have one. Makes it harder to sell, or display.
