Default Who is taking the tomatoes???

I saw tbis article in the local news about a tomato theif and thought I would share: https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada...rrel-1.4009651.

Have you ever caught someone you wouldn't expect raiding your garden? Who was it?

Pete

Dumb reason to get fired.


edit for clarity - Dumb thing to possibly get "yourself" fired over. To quote bugs bunny, "what a maroon!"


As far as I know I've never had anyone steal from us, but my mom knew a lady that grew butternut down the edge of her long hillside driveway. Some people stopped and asked if they could have some...she said no, but then they started disappearing anyway. They weren't even ripe yet. She was very upset.

That guy should be fired, but it's up to Canada Post... and I have zero faith that they'll do the right thing.

If it we're a cherry tomato here and there, no one would have noticed, but this guy made a pig out of himself, pack a lunch already!!!

Stealing is stealing no matter how small. Fire him!

I set a few trail cams up a few years ago...
It was my relatives ! They actually "flipped me off" as they were stealing tomatoes...
Now my tomatoes are "boobie trapped...
Picked the wrong tomato... Lose a hand...

JOKING!
