Flower Thief Strikes Early

Last September, GM was hit with a flower thief, who snipped off about half an annual sitting by his stoop. Earlier that summer, GM had a whole basket of geraniums simply taken. But he’s possibly most perplexed about the scene he encountered last week, seen above.

You can see two blooming allium bulbs. You can also see the denuded stems of two other allium bulbs. Someone came by with scissors and cut off the blooms.

It’s as odd as it is petty. Why just the two? Why not the full stem?

There are worse problems in the world than flower thieves, but it’s still a drag.
