" Hello,

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Je viens de m'apercevoir que l'on m'a volé deux gros pins à 5 aiguilles dans le jardin.
Voir photos ci-jointes.
Merci de faire circuler ces images.
Faites attention à vos arbres, il y a une recrudescence des vols en ce moment.
Amitiés,
François

It seems bonsai thieves are on the loose in Europe.

here is the 2 pinus tumbergi stolen from François Jeker






sorry, the firs time I forgot to host the images...

Sadly this thread became a debate on gun use and after receiving complaints, I have removed a number of posts.


Viriato, thank you for alerting us to further thefts of trees - although it as always sad to hear of such an event. We hope the good guys in bonsai community will as usual remain vigilant for their own trees and keep an eye out for any traces of Francois's stolen ones. I will add that if anyone comes across these trees anywhere or is offered them in a sale, could they please contact Viriato by PM as quickly as possible.
