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.


Not on Facebook any more but have mentioned it on Twitter with a photo of
the other one.
