I am sorry Iris ...must be very frustrating !

You should see some of the horror stories we have had in the newsgroup.
Fortunately there have been none lately. One poor fellow in Texas had his bonsai
stolen off a second floor balcony.

I guess I shouldn't trouble trouble, but I've never had a tree stolen.
In Maine I lived on a main street with my trees visible to hundreds of
people who drove by every day. Now Anita and I live in a quiet
neighborhood on a dead-end street. People in the neighborhood know
about our trees but I've never had one taken. Knock on wood.

Craig, who is going to steal from the preacher or priest?

I have a deck with trees displayed around it - cars stop occasionally to
look - never one stolen - (hey, - I heard that - they are not that bad!)
It is a gated community - and it works!

( uh, I do wonder though, that I have had a painting stolen at exhibit, but
never a bonsai!)

It happens more ofthen ^than we think
wansn't Jim that reported 2 years ago about a guy that took his
motor van and went to loads bonsais from a shop and was arrested and
had to pay about 10 k $ of bonsai and few days later he went in the
same shop to have repotted a bonsai he previously stole from there?
I remember something of this kind ?
