Re: Neighbors helping themselves to your Flowers

I was reading all of the responses and thought about somthing I saw on my walk.A man put out some furniture near the sidewalk with a sign that said free.It sat there for days and then the guy put a sign on the stuff that said ..all for ten dollars.That stuff was gone overnight and he was laughing telling us about his little trick to make the stuff more desireable.I don't think people respond to signs in the way we think they should.

Oh, that's funny!  So, did they give him the ten bucks or just take the stuff?  Either way, no issue as I doubt he had an issue and just wanted it to go away.  But I'm just curious.   Smiley Happy

 @PINKdogWOOD No one has the right to pick flowers off your property! You did the right thing.I think it would be a good idea for you to put up some signs throughout your property reminding people that they are free to look but not touch!

@chickenbutt They just took the stuff..haha.People only wanted it if it was worth something.He didn't care because his whole purpose was for someone to take it.

@NicksmomESQ I think that people who obey signs not to pick flowers wouldn't have done do in the first place.I think the people who wanted to pick would just do it when they thought they wouldn't get caught.

Isn't that funny, though!   Sounds like a good thing to do and good for him thinking that up so the stuff could be taken.   Kinda creepy for the one, or ones, who would just take something that had a price tag on it but the good part is that the stuff is finally gone!  Smiley Happy    That's all that needed to happen.
