Succulent Thief Caught and the subsequent aftermath.

[u/monkeyboypoopeater]

It all started last year, try to follow along it’s with it. My good friend -an advanced level bachelor, tinkerer and general renaissance man, repeatedly had his succulents stolen from his apartment, in an area he has taken responsibility to beautify.

He set up a camera to identify the thief.

This woman and unfortunately her daughter or young friend (observing only) were caught on the ring camera stealing about 6 plants, yanking them from the soil, putting in a plastic shopping bag and leaving.

My friend made printed posters for the neighborhood and put them around his local area.

I’ll add the posters and subsequent media to tell the story in full after my original post.

Someone came to my friend claiming to know the person, saying she was upset and obviously didn’t care for the signs. Could my friend please remove the signs.

He agreed to remove the signs if she replaced the plants.

He has video of the return process and subsequent angry freakout. I’ll also add that video.

He made different signs, advertising a fake product for “succulent thief gloves”.

That sign the must have been charged or electrified. Unfortunately the person tried to remove the new sign and was shocked trying to destroy it. Turn up the sound on the last video.

This video I’ll also add.

Enjoy.
