My wife and I recently bought a bunch of plants and flowers from the local garden center. We placed them on our back patio to plant at a later date when the rain stopped. I got up one morning and they were all gone.

About a week later I drove by a "fixer upper" house in the neighborhood that is for sale. It is the one eyesore in our otherwise nice neighborhood. To my surprise I saw that our stolen plants and flowers had somehow ended up planted in front of this dump, I guess to give it some curb appeal or something.

To make a long story short....I took a shovel and wheelbarrow up there and dug them all back up. The owners were not home since it was "open house" day. The owner later apolgized and said his son told him he purchased them to spruce the house up a little. I told him son was a thief and a liar.
