Greetings!
Each year, it is sad to read of the pumpkin thefts reported on this list.
In Florida where I live, we can get the police involved on any property damage
or theft so long as a dollar amount can be established. This would be
relatively easy to do, given that pumpkins are sold by the pound, and Atlantic
Giants are heavy. A grower's log of garden expenses would add to the total,
making the damage/theft a real issue.
No way would I accept "It's just a pumpkin" as a competent reply from law
enforcement. Regardless of what someone steals, it's the principle of the
matter, not the item itself. Besides, a lot of premeditation is involved with
a large pumpkin theft. One cannot just walk away with it singlehandedly.
This very point brings me to wonder how the garbage men will lift my AG jack
o'lantern onto the truck tomorrow AM, as it will be waiting alongside the
garbage cans for pickup. Laying bets that it will take more than two guys.
