Thief
As I was walking back from my neighbor's this week I noticed something strange. There was something amiss with my flower garden that's outside my bedroom. Two rose bushes, check, white flowering plant, check, aloe vera...? Where's my aloe vera plant? Somebody stole my aloe vera plant right out of the ground?!? I had to laugh it seemed so ludicrous. Later I was not laughing, because is the thief seeing what he can get away with or did he just really want an aloe vera plant? I'm pretty sure they're not expensive and mine was rather bedraggled looking to boot. So, that's my story. I remember Bernd from our home church in AB saying that there were hundreds of dollars worth of plants stolen from the church gardens there. So I guess plant thieves are not that uncommon around the world. Go figure.

Maybe its time to invest in a Rottweiler. They got you at your other house...maybe they know you replaced all the other stuff. Hope it was just plant thieves.
Bizarro. Doesn't that just irk you? Last spring I had a pretty ceramic planter stolen from out backyard- and I had flowers planted in it that they dumped on the ground. Grrr.
Some people like to use the aloe plant as medicine and beuty aids (especially if you are poor). But the more honest people will ask you for your plant, not steal. Hope it was only a plant thief also. Make sure there is someone always looking out for your home.
Maybe they thought it was something else... pot?
