How to deal with theft of plants?

Posted by Classic Gardens on July 13, 2008 at 1:40pm in Stolen

I maintain a new block of flats but its on a rat run to a run down estate.

The problem is the rate at which the newly planted shrubs are being taken is alarming and its begining to make the front of the poperty look dire.

The housing association which deals with the place wont plant any spiky shrubs due to the fear of being sued. Also they wont pay for v large shrubs for fear of those being taken.

They r not being stolen to order i think as the good and the bad are being taken.

Any help would be great ta

    "The housing association which deals with the place wont plant any spiky shrubs due to the fear of being sued." Typical namby pamby England, get some toxic plants in there and then not only will you stop the theft, you'll also be able to trace the perps. ;)
