That is really too bad!! I am sorry that your mother's day gift was stolen- at least they can not steal the love with which it was given!

That is just terrible!!!! How come there are so many people that are so heartless and don't care about others feelings or personal property. I hope you find a nicer place soon that you can trust having your things outside without worry.

Margo...that is awful! I have a lot of things on my Porch and I am always worried someone will
steal something off of it. I try to remember that everything I own is merely borrowed from God...
even my children. That helps me keep things in perspective.
My little sister however has a favorite saying (got it off a bumper sticker) that says
"MEAN PEOPLE SUCK"!
So, whatever makes you feel better, go for it!
But like Alee said, "nobody can steal the love that was given with the gift to you
from your grand-daughter." So Rejoice In that and wear it on your Heart!
Hugs and Love,
peggy

Wow- thats about all I can muster up! I just can't believe that someone would steal a plant off your deck! I don't know WHY I can't belive it in this day and age, but I can't. So sorry this happened to you! I like what Alee said about the love still being there! Very true!
Hugs to you!

Stealing a Mother's Day plant is just NOT right. Sorry that happened to you.

Don't people have anything better to do than to steal a plant? Seriously?
When I lived in an apartment, I had some clothes stolen from the laundry room. I posted a "Dear Thief" note on the washer and said that if my items werent returned I would consider calling the police, then I called my landlord. (Of course I would never take up police time with that type of thing, but the thieves didnt need to know that!)Miraculously, they showed up a couple of days later. Maybe you should do the same. Just remember, plants can be replaced. Keep your chin up!

hang a sign in its place, letting all that pass by what happened and what it meant to you, put a letter in your local paper about it, and maybe the theif will feel bad and return it...

That is horrible! I'm sorry. That is so odd that someone would steal something like that?!! What would they do with it??? I agree with Alee too, the love cannot be stolen.

Margo,
That is horrible. I would want to cry, too. People are just so evil sometimes. If you lived closer, I'd bring you one of mine!

One of our local elementary schools planted a pretty little garden of different flowering bushes one spring a few years back the weekend before mothers day. Someone stole them all Mothers day weekend. I just thought I wish the mothers knew where their presents came from.

Be careful they don't start breaking in when you are gone. Lock up Sweetie.
