People who decide to grow flowers need patience, time, and effort. So imagine how you would feel if someone came close to midnight and decided to steal your hard work. This is what one sneaky California couple did to an innocent citizen. The owner of the house shared camera footage of their small garden of flowers where a couple stood. They already came prepared to steal the flowers because the woman had a bag with her to bag what she stole. To make matters worse, the bag already had some items inside it. This probably means that the house owner wasn’t the only one who was robbed that night.
The shameless California couple spent around seven minutes stealing the flowers, which the owner identified as zinnias and cosmos. The two didn’t just steal a couple of flowers. They stole dozens, and the owner estimated that they took about 60 or more. The woman continues to snatch the flowers throughout the video, while her partner stands and watches. When a car was passing by, she simply stopped her movement and then waited until the car drove away. The owner could only describe the whole situation as “really disappointing.” It’s frustrating that the couple took their time and stole this amount of flowers. I also feel sorry for their dog, which was with them, that he or she has to live with thieves.
People Reacting to the California Couple’s Heist
A lot of people were outraged by what the California couple did. Someone was quite upset with the way the woman was snatching the flowers. “In addition, why the hell was she just ripping them out? It’s not like she could make bouquets out of them or something. Totally unhinged!” they wrote. Another person guessed why the two were doing this in the first place as they said, “My guess is harvesting seeds. I harvest most of my zinnia and cosmo seeds. Seeds are expensive. And this bitch just stole years worth of seeds.” This only makes this worse. Others sympathized with the house owner because of what they went through. “I’m sorry this happened to you when you were making the street a little more beautiful for your neighbors,” one person wrote.
Several people were also ready to offer OP ways they can get revenge. “Print a still from this video on 50 index cards. Clothespin the cards to your plants where the flowers were. Post another video of this lady’s response when she comes by on her nightly walk,” someone suggested. Another person added to this advice and said, “Do this, but add a QR code to the YouTube video.” Since it’s quite a long video, one Redditor noticed that the bag the California couple had was half full. “Her bag was already half full when she started stealing your plants. You’re not the only victim here,” they wrote. Hopefully, the other victim might have their own footage that could be used to catch the two thieves.
