We have had theft of both vegetables and tools from our allotments,
which are located in a private controlled high security area. There
are thieves everywhere even amongst the highly paid.


Quite recently, in a gardening article, a woman wrote that her veg on
her allotment are regularly stolen. She said whoever the thief is must
know the allotments well,, because everything is picked when it's just
at the perfect 'ready' point.


Yes. We have one or two of those. If they would just ask permission....

The same happens on our allotments. Somebody has been stealing
pumpkins frequently.


Probably getting ahead of the game. Haloween is in November, and of course
it is a lot cheaper to steal them early.

For me it is the disgusting wanton harm they want to do to us.
