Hi Guys,
Has this happened to any of you? Is this a common thing in Calgary? I had actually googled this online and found a site on the first hit where many people confirmed that they've had plants and even trees uprooted, cut or stolen.
We had planted some red flowers in the flower bed at the front of my house and just noticed today that all the stems have been cut off. Obviously done by a pair of scissors by someone who came prepared to do it.
The flowers are gone, and there is nothing left but an inch or two of the plant. I have different kinds of flowers and plants in the flower bed and he/she/they only did this to the red flowers but nothing else. Either it's a symbolic form of vandalism or the person just wanted some red flowers for their own garden?
It's definitely concerning to me that people would do this. Now I am just wondering why someone did this. If I have an angry neighbor, if it's some punk kids, etc. Obviously poses somewhat of a security concern. I was just thinking of getting my own security system as well. Probably a good idea.
Is this as common as the old chinese people who trespass on people's properties to get their bottles/cans for recycling? I just want to rule out as much as possible that my house isn't being targeted for anything more than this lol.
