ex partner stole herbs from my garden!?!?

Irishhooley · 26/04/2014 21:13

my ex moved house last summer, while we were still together. we did not live together. I helped him move, clean and sort out the old / new house etc. We broke up about 6 months later.
He left pots with herbs etc in my back garden as the new house yard was v v dirty!!
I've just noticed that MY pots are missing - while his old scrawny plants are still here. I'm assuming he climbed the fence to take them.

What should I do? nothing as not worth it??

Best thing to do, would be to pop in to Aldi & buy a few more, or take up SoleSource's offer.

BuzzardBird · 26/04/2014 21:28

Oooo, the Kent massive. Watch out! Grin

cozietoesie · 26/04/2014 21:32

Only Kent, SoleSource ?

I would send him a nice companionable email advising him that you've been burgled and that he needs to remove anything from outside that he doesn't want to lose in case you've become a marked property. Oh - and saying that you're about to file a police report.

If he doesn't email back to you directly, I actually would file a police report.

Steal yours back and leave his manky ones. And a horses head, not a real one though. Dismember a My Little Pony, that'll really fuck him up.

I've bought new ones. It's not the value. I'm annoyed that he climbed my fence, presumably while I wasn't here, and took things. what a scumbag

Does he have a key to your place?

mummyOF4darlings · 26/04/2014 22:26

Sorry to laugh but this has just made me chuckle. Be greatful its just herbs hes taken, how do you know it was him anyway? Make sure you know for sure before you go branding him a herb theif

wyrdyBird · 26/04/2014 22:27

Watch points. You're right to be annoyed: it's trivial but he had no right to be there. Let's hope he doesn't plan on returning.

Maisie0 · 26/04/2014 22:30

Put some heavy nettles there and let it sting him til kingdom come. Such gitty behaviour.

SirChenjin · 26/04/2014 22:31

You need to send rabid rats in through his letterbox to sniff out the herbs and kill him dead. Bastard.
