Many of us wait for this time of year to enjoy the fruits of our labor but regrettably It's also fruit thief season. Besides the typical iguanas, racoons, possums, birds, and squirrels, people are the worst they're out and about at all hours.
A few people knock on the door and ask, which is the polite thing to do but they knock even at night sometimes. Even then I must confess it still gets on my nerves a bit. These people are not neighbors on my street, I have no idea where they come from and how they make their way to me almost at the end of a dead end street?
They'll knock asking for mangos, june plums, jackfruit etc and if you say no but you can buy some they quickly lose interest. I guess stolen fruit taste sweeter.
I'm sorry to feel like the little red hen but no, grow some in your own yard or purchase them. and unless you see fruit spoiling on the floor as an obvious sign that the residents of the house dont care for the fruit don't even knock to ask.
I wonder for everyone I catch how many get away with it.
Those who reap where they don't sow are the worst kind of people.
post and wire fence going up tomorrow; because I'm sick of it.
I'm at the point I can spot them when they drive past the front window and begin to slow down. I'm considering video recording them from now on, and putting printed still shots of their faces at local supermarkets to publicly shame the thieves; who knows, maybe a youtube channel in the works.
some good should come of it.
anyway, I know y'all feel my pain.
