I cn't f****ing believe this

[CHICagoMUM]

I have just opened my front door to accept a delivery to see the new conifers I planted earlier this week have all been pulled up (in braod daylight out of my front garden. Going upstairs and looking out my dd's window into next doors garden they have 6 new conifers ... I have phoned the police and they are on their way over.

I just can't believe the total lack of respect, and am now very worried about living next door to them. I wish the police would get here, I am still shaking.

let the police come and do what needs to be done honey.

A to encourage you

Why do these things always happen when dh isn't at home?

Oh, CM

Bastards

man, that is super infuriating.

I'm now watching the delivery of stones like a hawk until dhh gets home and can move them into the back.

gobsmacked! surely they wouldn't be so dense as to plant them right next door to the crime scene??????

un-bloody-believable! so for you!

How long do you think the police will take to get here? I really want this over and done with, am getting rather nervous.

tbh - annoying though it is I don't think it will be priority because the evidence isn't going anywhere is it?

Nag them if they don't turn up soon - ask them for an eta!

What a bunch of thiefs, how rude & disrespectful, did you say they have planted them in there garden? or have they just dug them up from yours & taken them?

That is why I don't want to phone them because I now they have more pressing issues, but I just want to get it over with.

have you got a digital camera? with a date? take some photos for now

I can't be 110% certain, but they were there in our garden at 11.30 when dh went out, have spoken to my neighbour who witness me planting them, and he went out at 1pm and was rather surprised that they had gone. I opened dd's curtains this morning when I got her dressed and I am 99% certain they had no conifers in their garden. Immediately after I noticed ours where mixing I looked out of her window and they have 6 new conifers in 2 troughs identical to ours. (we had 8 so I don't know what happened to the other 2 if it is them that took them).

I'll beat your heart is beating fast?

Surely somebody must have seen someone uprooting 8 trees in broad daylight and if it wasn't them someone must had had a van or something.

How big are they?

No they are only about a foot tall, very young trees. We have been in the house all day, so they did it under our noses. They didn't need a van as they are small and (if I am right) are currently about 15 feet from where I am sitting.

Well, presumably the police (when they turn up) will ask them when they bought them, where from, receipts etc.

I have taken photos of the holes in our front garden and the plants in theirs (just in case they spot the police car outside our house and decide to move/ditch them.

ARRGH door bell went, thought it was police - was a guy canvassing for the labour party... was rahter blunt with him .

OMG let us know what happens. im sure you will

i too would be FUMING

that's ok he deserves it! he'll just think your p*ssed with Tony

Thats

However something similar happened in the street we used to live in. Some neighbours employed a dubious bunch of "gardeners" to do some work for them including fitting a gate.

The "gardeners" just wandered up the road measuring gates until they found one to fit, removed it, carried it down the road and fitted it to the house they were working on!

Whaaaat?

OMG at betty spaghetti as well

still waiting for the police.
