Thanks for stealing my planters and topiaries from my porch on Connaught St. on Friday night. Makes me and my son feel real safe. Obviously, you staked it out, for you needed a truck to move the 100 lb. ceramic teal pots and the three foot high red hibiscuses, and had to cross barricades over poured cement. Bad karma on you. Hope you pulled a back muscle, or dropped one on your foot; or better yet, have an invasion of stinging ants (yes, that’s why they were outside), or get poison ivy. Hope they are well hidden in your backyard as I’ll be cruising. And if anyone is a recipient of such a ‘gift’, I’m the one with taste, not the thief. Oh, by the way, that sensor on the porch is a camera. Gotcha! —Only Trying to Make the City a Prettier Place

totally unbelievable? this planter was so valuable that you left ants in it, yet a security camera was pointed at it? I call BS. I think you guys need to do a much better job at masking over your inadequacies.
Obviously, this was your pot plant, you didn’t take precautions to keep it out of view, and now someone has stolen it from you.
lol nice detective work GV.
This b!tch is a waste of space……make the city a prettier place? With all them fucking ants and poison ivy….yeah, okay!
Ooooh OP. That’s a wonderful idea for a gift! Didn’t even think of it that way! Excellent.
OP, so you caught them on camera? Have a clear image? Likely not. Why are you bitching on here about it instead of checking on Kijiji for a fire-ant infested flower pot?
Ask the rozzers to check the Emerg to see if anyone turned up with fire ant bites?
