MAY I make it known that we have a serious garden thief on our area.

Over the last few months, I have had more than £2,000 worth of shrubs and plants stolen from my garden.

Large bushes have proved no problem to the thieves nor have some trees, they have selected what they wanted to take.

How do these thieves get away with it?

I live alone but would go down fighting should the chance arise.

I have worked hard to achieve what I have and would never stoop so low to steal anything from anyone let alone a pensioner.
