You know times are hard when...

...Someone steals a green pineapple.

Yepper I heard them go over the fence last night. This morning my last (current fruiting) pineapple was stolen.

The sad part is they could have just asked me and I would have given it to them. What is even worse is my variety of pineapple is extremely toxie until fully ripe.

That stinks Olds.  I know how hard you work with your gardens.

[Stargazer]

Very sorry to hear about that Olds. I can't stand a thief either. Just sucks when you work hard on something, in this case, your garden, and someone just takes what they want with no regards to you or all your hard work.

Maybe high voltage electric fencing around your garden powered by a few industrial Tecumseh generator batteries? :D

Wish I could....

When I re-set my garden this next time I'm thinking it is about time for motion sensors and air horns.

You could always try a bear trap.  Dig a large hole (about 9 feet deep) and then cover with leaves, etc.  Fill half of it with water.  Do not put the punjabi sticks in it!  You'll find out who it is pretty quickly.

Down here if you dig a hole that deep it will fill up with water all by itself.

You're right; I keep forgetting about the water table down there.  I still think it would be funny but you'd open yourself up to all kinds of litigation.

How desperate can people get?

Somebody needs to get hold of him, and shove that pineapple into his>>>> Maybe that would make him think about what he's doing in the future? it would at least alter the way he walks!

[Oldman]

Well I will tell you this. The gene I grow has serrated knife leaves edges that will slice you faster than grease through a goose. The person that stole the pineapple had to go through a few of them to get to the fruit. In fact some of the leaves were on the ground.  ;D

When I work around the pineapples I wear leather gloves, a heavy long sleeve shirt and eye protection.

I hope that they eat the pineapples in there current state
