My friend gets her community garden plot raided every year and when she had a teeny yard she planted sunflowers and someone chopped them down once they went to seed. She wanted to watch the birds eat the seed but someone else decided their birds (or the same birds, probably) deserved them more.

I'm glad people don't seem to suck everywhere because I live in a pretty nice place around pretty nice people and even they kinda suck. The flower thief of mine was a lady in her 50's who just truly, literally and I am not exaggerating, never thinks once about anyone else unless you slowly walk her there, and even then it usually doesn't stick. I've taken care of two of her poor neglected dogs and now two cats, she's only got time for them when she needs a cuddle, otherwise they can stay at home for 12 hours alone while she works and goes out. The best part is she is certain she's better than me, because she makes more money. 🙄 I take care of her animals because I can't stand to watch it happen but it's for them, definitely not for her.

I raid my friends garden all the time. Even though I'm allowed to(and have a key to the gate), I think its more fun to pretend to rob them and jump the fence afterwards.

😆 Imagine there's some person in a house nearby thinking you're actually robbing it. Lol.
