I have never understood stealing or vandalism. I think a series of trip lines that would activate an alarm or lights is called for. So sad for the damper this has cast on your day.

I feel not only sad for you and angry at the vandals, but I feel even more our vulnerability in an age when some people will go to extraordinary lengths to break into places where there is no money or expensive possessions. It stands in such contrast to the kindness and concern and helpfulness of most people around us.<br />annieanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230321197387724788.post-65982273827239952772010-10-01T08:14:53.997-07:002010-10-01T08:14:53.997-07:00I HATE orcs.

Also, my favorite herb pot (hard-to-find style), a hanging basket with hand-made frame, even plants out of our planters. These are things that belong outside . . . so the orc-minded just help themselves. Grrrrrr!!!Vicky L. Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435272623009754836noreply@blogger.com
