As stunned and bewildered as I am to have to tell you all this - the nightmare has happened again!!!

I went to the grocery store early this evening and my last basjoo banana plant was stolen right out from under our windows in broad daylight!!!

: O

Totally obvious now that it is in fact someone in the buliding beside ours that watched for me to leave. I am shocked that they did it in the daytime. They didn't take all of my plants this time but they got the best one, and the pot it was in was real expensive.

The good news is, I know who is responsible and the Police will be on their doorstep first thing in the morning!!! They were too busy to come tonight so an officer will be here tomorrow morning. I am not going to take this lying down.

Someone offered to mail me a basjoo last week, so I won't be totally without thankfully, but it's not the point. I am going to have to change how I do gardening here and put everything directly in the earth - no more nice pots for low-lives to steal. I am so crushed that this happened to me again in such a short span of time.

I should have known better this time - it's my fault.

Here is what the bastards got...
