Default Agave stolen

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! B'stards


Worth putting this on Facebook or Twitter, if you have accounts there,
Bob. Use photos too. I'm so sorry. What a really filthy person does
this sort of mean little trick.
