Will C. I live in an apartment complex -gated community; I have lived here almost 10 yearsl and have never been afraid before. I know that it is someone who lives here (or workmen, who are here occasionally here. There are people of different cultures; and it seems when someone new moves in; they don't understand that what is on your patio is your private property and not theirs for the taking. The maintenance person said he is putting out a letter tomorrow to let residents know if/when he finds out who is doing this; they will be dealt with harshly (????). I am not actually afraid for my safety; I just don't not being able to have something personal that I work hard with get destroyed.
Ursula, I have had a couple of friends say that I need to get a camera; but I am sort of resisting it; I hate to spend money on a camera to protect a lemon tree. There are cameras on the premises; but mainly pointed toward the parking lot and gates.
Will C. and Ursula, I am mainly concerned with not having pretty plants/trees; but maybe I should look into a camera or something. Maybe I am not as safe as I think I am. Thanks to both of you! Pat
