The neighbour next door must have seen and come to his front door too.

The 'thief' just calmly walked back and put the plant pot back and walked off

And we said nowt, well the odd expletive, and it never happened again

Some beggars once actually dug up my friends miniature conifers and walked off with them !!! She said when she opened the curtains in the morning it took her a few minutes to work out what was different !

Only time something like that happened to us was when we found one of our hanging baskets had grown legs in the middle of the night and walked into the middle of the front lawn !!!! I reckon they gave up trying to nick it cos it was a huge basket, and weighed a ton
