Which caused me to write this reply.
Hi,
There' a saying "innocent until proven guilty" -- I don't like this approach at all. It's reminds me of the witch hunts in the Frankenstein movies. Where stupid, scared townspeople acted like, well, stupid, scared towns people.
Why didn't you get a photo of the person actually doing this -- if they were -- or just plain ask them in a humorous way. "You're not talking flowers, are you?"
Which brings me to this question.
Why the hell would anyone want to steal flowers?
What's annoying is the constant feeling that people in Adams Point are almost irrationally afraid of each other. It's weird.
