It's only $39.95. If all your neighbours are aware, somebody just might happen to be up in the middle of the night when thieves are sneaking around, and may see something. I have three neighbours who work nights and come home at odd hours, and my son regularly gets home between midnight and 5:00am. Plus my husband is an insomniac and can be wandering around the house at any time. Chances are, there's always somebody up in our street. So you never know who's looking out their window. Make sure they all know what's been happening - it can't hurt. Re: Thieves stealing my bushes advice needed. 17Mar 21, 2010 9:50 pm sleven ... our front fence (that we built to keep the ferals out) was tagged and someone ripped the decking slats off a section of fence.... this is what led us to plant ivy 15 years ago.

It's only $39.95 Thanks kek I did, but I dont think a fake camera would work, cause people know real ones cost a lot and who is seriously going to pay $$$ for a few plants. And its dark, I dont think the image would be good enough to catch them, I think they park down the street a little ...(I tracked dirt to middle of the road which suddenly stopped) so I dont even think a camera would pick up a number plate. Thanks Jose27 about your idea, but I still have 10 of these plants left, so unless they all get stolen I need to keep the same plant. I have reported to the police and I asked whether it was a waste of time, she said it helps with their crime statitics, I said great, that helps you, but how does it help me, she said if someone rings and says 5 plants have been thrown over their fence I may get them back, unlikely but you never know. Sleven, I would of resorted to razor blades or fish hooks for the bird of paradise, I would be nice and put up a little sign, hopefully that would waiver my legal responsibility if someone got harmed. Thanks everyone I am going to go for a sensor light, and then a fence maybe just temporary, my landscaper says the roots should be good in about 3 months. I have been told people steal these and sell them at markets, I went to the local sunday garden market and didnt find them, but did find rosemary for $3 which my landscaper says costs about $10.

WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 7007 Versaloc is a mortarless besser block system that still needs a properly engineered footing. If you just do a 400x200 footing it will fail in time. At 17m long you need it… 1 17937 |
