Reporting a person to the police several weeks ago for fraud and identity theft after finding out they have ripped off thousands only for the Police to do nothing and watching the same person continue top rip off thousands each week.

Apparently they are waiting for the victims to come forward before they will take any action.

I had to visit 3 stations before someone would even take my report seriously...

'If you see something, say something'...

Yeah right.. what a bloody waste of my time.....

Still nothing from the fuzz - why? Coronavirus of course!

Apparently someone will call me by next week.

(That's the 4th time I have heard that by the way).

Since this post another $3-5k has been flogged.

Laptop(s), multiple pairs of shoes, dozens of items of clothing, each from 3 different suppliers, jewelry and furniture.

No rush I guess... credit card fraud is a victim less crime... right?

Some unsavory person decided to help themselves to newly planted Dianthus from one of my commercial clients car park garden.

I hate plant thieves.

Mainly because they don’t steal the billions of excess monstera, clivia, broms I have...

Who the hell steals plants?

There's a sign in South Melbourne warning about plant vandals destroying trees, what an odd crime to commit.

Don't laugh..

In Sydney you can get done for murdering plants.

Yes, we have a high regard for our carbon dioxide consuming brethren.

Plants are often nicked from fresh landscaping projects, especially civil jobs. I reckon they go into the yards of just-built houses.

Cutting thieves annoy me even more; why not just ask nicely rather than skulk about? It’s the horticultural equivalent of snowdropping.

Exactly, in fact it's a compliment and clearly someone admires your gardening skills.
