Transplanted

He nicked the whole back yard!

Phil and Linzi Wood...said they put the five-bedroom home in Hazel Slade, England, on the market when they moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and later learned from Phil's mother that their garden, which included a path, shrubs, plants, pots, hanging baskets and a garden shed, had been turned into an empty plot...

Linzi Wood said she returned to England to investigate and discovered all the items from the garden had been moved to neighbor Brian Johnson's yard.

My favored lawn protection method also works well for gardens. You might need to replant a few flowers and pick some stray pieces of intestines out of the bushes, of course, but such is the price of security.
