Theft of window boxes

I heard of
a woman who had a very impressive garden that was accessible to people
slipping into and stealing the crops. She stopped the thefts cold by
placing a very readable sign in the garden that stated simply that
there was ONE row of contaminated and poisoned plants growing
Which reminds me of an old joke about a pumpkin farmer who was suffering
similar thefts who left a sign saying "I have poisoned 5 of these pumpkins"
only to find the next day that the thief had left his own sign saying "and I
have poisoned 8"
