Dealing with people picking your flowers

I have a problem that's been plaguing me for a couple of years now,
but this year it seems to be even worse.

Someone keeps picking my flowers.  :(

I've noticed that many of the tulips in my front yard have had their
flower stalks neatly clipped off, blooming branches disappear from
my Koreanspice viburnum, and my crocus (why would anyone pick crocus)
kept disappearing too.

Last year I caught the neighbor's kids picking some and talked to
them about it, but this year I haven't seen the evil deed in progress.
The fact is, I'm gone most of the day and don't notice the damage until
it's too late.

Have any of you had to deal with this kind of thing?  What did you do?
The tulips aren't too bad (although I wish they wouldn't pick half of
the clump), but I'm worried that they'll start picking the more "special"
flowers like Trillium, double-flowering Polygonatum, etc...

Help!  :)

Chris
