Allotment woes

[watervole]

 This was going to be a post about how well the allotment is doing right now.

Unfortunately, it has now become a post about some bastard who stole most of our rhubarb (and badly damaged the plants in the process) nicked the only ripe squash and helped him/her self to all the ripe courgettes.

I hope s/he chokes on it - though given the amount of rhubarb taken, they must have been stealing to sell.

There are plots available on our site (the short term future with regard to property developers has greatly reduced the waiting list), so there is not even the excuse that the thief has nowhere to grow their own produce.

Bastard.

That is really, really despicable. People who steal from allotments can't even be using any slim self-deception that the loss is covered by insurance, or that the loss isn't personal. They KNOW they're taking someone's personal hard work.

If it was me, I'd be tempted to put up signs in future saying 'Plants have been sprayed with poison and are unsafe to eat'. Wouldn't stop anyone intending to sell though, provided they were truly conscienceless, which they probably are.
