Re: garden theft

A couple of months ago, I came home driving along my wooded country lane to 
find a woman climbing up the hillside with a box full of bloodroot she had 
dug up out of my woods.  Her little boy (may 6-7 years old) was accompanying 
her.  I informed her that she was on private property and that she didn't 
have my permission to dig up the plants.  

She offered to put them back but I told her since they were so hard to 
transplant there was no point.  

My parting shot was to say, "And you're teaching your son to steal, too."  
She got huffy and trudged up the hill.

There's an amazing lack of respect for private property around my area.  
People, young ones especially, frequently reply "I didn't know anyone owned 
this."  Can you imagine?
