Back in the day, we interned at one of the local churches, which had a lovely garden.  We had a problem of people coming in with shovels — even during the middle of the day — who would then dig up our plants and drive away.  The senior minister wondered one Sunday what must it be like to have a garden of stolen plants.

It’s a question that still comes to mind — one of our readers writes:

We live on the corner of Maiden and Marcheta and recently had a planter filled with cactus stolen from our side yard. Thought your readers should be made aware of this. A picture of the planter is attached.

Anyone who might know anything about this should contact the Altadena Sheriff’s office.
