Why would ANYONE steal a potted plant? And why would you risk getting shot over one?

Does little Bo Peep do your lawn work?

I'm just waiting for this one to spiral out of control. Why couldn't they just shoot a warning shot or shoot the plant out of his hand? haha

I had someone come into my pole barn 150' from my house, 300' from the road, and take gas 5 gal cans and my fishing equipment out of my boat. I mean arms full of stuff.
There is no way they could have ran. Had to have nutz as big as watermelons !

I'd hate to kill a kid but I'm not gonna ask them their age first ~

So you can shoot someone in the head in Texas if they try to steal your plant? Wouldn't think there'd be much stealing going on there.

Someone stole a big flower pot from our yard years ago. My coworker thought it was funny as heck, called it the Flower Pot Caper and went on and on about how they must've planned it and carried it out under the cover of darkness.

[cowtrimmer]

I'm not sure I would put a guy down for stealing a flower pot. ..............I know, I know, Its the thought of being able to do it lawfully is what really matters.

[FlyinSooner]

IMO Discharging your firearm over a potted plant is irresponsible.

There was no risk of immediate injury to the homeowner.

The thief's kids still have a dad. Maybe now he'll rethink his way of life.

This week a Flower pot..Next week your Plasma TV or your wifes purse off her arm

[Beast]

A dead thief will never steal again.

I remember my dad telling me 30 years ago that potted plants were the most stolen item...never understood it.
