"presley" expounded:

As my oriental lilies went into full bloom this week, I tied them up to the
stakes next to them to hold the heads up, which were starting to bend under
the weight of the blossoms. The very next day, when I went outside to admire
them, I saw that someone had come and clipped every stem off - not broken
off, like a child would do, but with a pruner, so it was clearly
premeditated - probably as they watched me tie the plants up. I was furious,
which I think all the gardeners reading this can understand very well. So
I'm opening up this thread to get suggestions for revenge.....or at least to
allow others to vent if they have had similar experiences.


I'm so sorry this happened to you, but keep in mind it may not be your
neighbors. There are plenty of garden thefts where drive-bys come
back at night and help themselves, to complete plants, even. I have
no idea how you'd secure lily plants (
