MORE STOLEN TREES - MIDWEST

a member of the milwaukee bonsai club had a large number of her trees stolen in 2 seperate incidents - first 3 and then 14 !!!

she has provided a list of all the trees but only 9 pictures, but i just wanted to throw this out there as one never knows where (or if) they will turn up... so keep your eyeballs peeled.

That's a terrible news !

Theft is only going to increase as bonsai gains popularity. I don't have a fenced backyard, and it's visible from a main street within our community; my location concerns me.

thats tragic.... I used to think that people who were into plants were not the type to be thieves. Ah well

Good luck, I hope they turn up.
