I am very sorry to hear about your plot, as a plotholder I know just how
much creativity and physical and emotional energy goes into it.

If you do not report the crime, it sends a very clear message to the
perpetrator that it is okay for them to carry on such behaviour. People of
limited intelligence are expected to live by the same rules as the rest of
us. Please report it.

I don't want to arrive at my grave in an attractive and well preserved body,
hopefully I will be skidding in
sideways, Gin and Tonic in one hand -- Cigar in the other screaming YAHAAAY!

My daughter has had her allotment ruined, she grows flowers shrubs etc.
at home and keeps the allotment for vegetables and soft fruit, She is
very keen gardener and competes at local flower shows etc. Her allotment
is or was organic and she grows herbs amongst the veg, I am telling you
this cos it says the sort of gardener she is. However a few days ago
someone put weedkiller all over the plants and yesterday after being away
for a camping weekend she found that someone had pulled up all the plants
and burnt the lot. She knows who it was but cannot contact them, the fact
that the person involved is of limited intelligence makes it almost
impossible to take the matter further. I feel so sad for her :-(


That sounds even worse than anything I've experienced or heard about.
Unfortunately the Police are chocolate teapots for anything like this
these days IME, so little chance of them doing anything. In fact they may
get stroppy if you try to report it, does their figures no good at all,
and that's if you can find someone to report it to.

Of course the person is of limited intelligence, they always must be, but
she must do something or it will continue such is the nature of these
people. She will have to make up her own mind what she wants to do but it
must be something this person remembers, perhaps the Police round her way
are still doing their jobs properly and protecting the honest citizen.

Alternatively speak to the Council and explain what's happened, they may
help get the Police on board or they may even find her another plot on
another site so she can start again. Of course if this vandal is a Council
Tennant they may do more, a local councillor on board is always a good
idea too.
