Well, I came home from work tonight to someone trashing my property. Lost some of my plants because she tore a bunch of them into pieces, including one of my most beautiful aloes. Lost my larger sedums and graptosedums. Lost one of the new Opuntias I just posted. She trashed my barrel pond. And she stole some of my larger pots and smashed a stack of other ones.
Tried to hide behind one of my bushier trees but my dog alerted us.

So I called the police. Found out she's an illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal record but they can't charge her for trespassing or damages. I'm infuriated.

I admit, I don't live in a good town at all. It's a high crime rate, poor town. I was lucky to be in one of the nicer areas, but it's been migrating over here over the last couple years and I've had several problems with people, as have the neighbors.

I'm absolutely infuriated...
I found some intact leaves from the sedums I'm going to try to propagate. I'm upset she trashed the entire bowl of them... And I'm going to try to salvage the Opuntia. Nothing I can do for my Aloe... She snapped every single leaf off of it.
Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!
