stealing holly

 I have just been out to cut some holly for our house and found that the best
of it has vanished overnight, there are tyre tracks but nothing else except
to guess who might have taken it. I am sure that some of you will have had
the same thing happened to them.
Best wishes to our more honest members and friends

Sorry to hear that Kate. We are lucky in that our Holly, it grows like weed
in our gardens, is growing in the hedges either sides so the neighbours can
help themselves if they like. Bit too complicated for the plebs to get to
it.

Have a super Christmas yourself and thanks to those who have send me
messages. I think I have replied to you all.

Mike

What a horrible thing to do, I'm so sorry to hear of it Kate.  Somehow,
this sort of thing seems even more mean and tawdry at Christmas.  I
hope you have a lovely Christmas with or without the holly and same to
everyone else on urg!

To be honest, the person who took it probably didn't think they were doing
any harm - "oh look, there's a holly bush, no-one will mind if we take a
bit", kind of thing.  It's easily done.

Spirit of goodwill to all men, and all that, it's probably healthier to
think better of people than worse.  :-)

 
Also, despite claims by the Money-Fearing church, taking wild holly
from private property is NOT A CRIME.  It is dubiously even a civil
matter.  Wild plants and animals are not property, despite the
attempts of the monetarist thieves to make them so, from the reign
that infamous Norse-Normandy reiver, William the Bastard.

That doesn't justify taking a vehicle and stripping a tree, because
that IS a civil offence and (since the unspeakable recent Act)
possibly a criminal one.
