Do you have dogs and or motion lights Minx?
I always thought that people in SA were very careful to have security.

I have two dogs. Heard nothing.

I have roboguards (motion detectors) but that’s inside my property not on the roadside. Camera footage was inconclusive because it’s junk and I can’t speed the darn thing up to find the suspect/s.

I’m sure you understand why I won’t list any further security measures in the open forum :slight_smile:

Minx that is awful, you must be so upset! I know I would be - you spend time and money on your garden, and then some ba$tard thinks he can just help himself to the fruits of your labour :rage:.

Some good suggestions on here for replacement planting. I would definitely second pyracantha - it’s very attractive, but vicious!

You can borrow a couple of my baboon’s if you like. They are a primitive spider, rather than a tarantula & are normally a docile species, but can be quick to show a defensive posture, so tend to frighten people unnecessarily.

Thanks for your generous offer Gee. Spiders are a good idea!

I try to use natural, chemical free solutions to pests, in my garden.

Minx, that is really terrible. There are rather some nasty people. Where we lived we had two hanging baskets on our front door. A fey yobs decided they should them as footballs. I recovered them and fixed them with cable ties. Not so elegant but what else can you do?
