And Adam is scared to come to Hawaii??? HAHAHey this gives me a new marketing angle: Plant Alarms. When you lift the plant a very loud noise sounds and the thief is automatically tasered. Might go over well right now in Florida?Just teasing guys and galz. Don't take offense! We have plant theft here, but they usually target nurseries and steal hundreds of plants, not a couple of measly plants! Big time crooks only pleaze! Oscar
U never heard Hopkins Nursery's tragic tale of tropical tree theft? They had a bunch (over 100 or so I believe) of grafted Mamey sapote trees, at a time when they were in high demand, with few who knew how to properly graft, or who had access to grafted quality mamey plants in general.Not sure of the details but long story short.....Plant minded and larcenous individuals, systematically stole the special sapotaceous specimens.And Hopkins now is in the middle of no where! not much of a place to plan a plant robbery! I think Billy and Barbara would shoot you in the chest and compost your carcass in their vast tropical fruit nursery.

Murahilin, how much did your security system cost to set up? How large an area is it covering?
