Hi everyone.
Making progress for final displaying places for my bonsai.
Currently they are on a bench/benches in one small area of the garden,
recently raised from ground level where they sat with some other potted
plants, and bonsai in training pots.
Now they really stand out, and they will when the area I am building for
them is finished.
So it raised the issue of security.
They are in the back yard, which is fenced, and maybe I am being paranoid,
but it doesn't really stop any wanderers/peering eyes from seeing them,
hence stealing them.
I guess it's the fact they stand out that I have noticed this. That and the
fact someone told me that in nearby Sydney some people were....... actually
I won't say it as to not give any undesireables ideas, but yeah, theft
around there is actually a problem and big market for it.
Really, our bonsai are in the best area for them, and can't/don't want to
tuck them away in some hidden shady corner.
I can imagine some people here have the most beautiful bonsai and wondering
if anyone had security for them. Apart from a dog that is.
I have a few ideas such as a infrared activated alarm, fencing with razor
wire atop, though a little ugly for a nice display. Then possibly another
which may be a little crude so I won't mention it. Maybe it's all overkill,
but something to stop people from being able to carry them away would be
nice.
We haven't had any problems with theft of anything in the immediate area,
that I'm aware of, still being cautious about it.
Any suggestions?
