If you look closely, you'll see that two of the tulips have been cut. About a week ago I found the first one sliced through and the remains were just left there. In other words, it wasn't cut with the intention of taking it, it was cut just for the sake of destruction. I moved the pot away from the fence so that it would be unreachable from the sidewalk. Two or three days later, I found another one cut and just lying on the ground. This one wasn't even fully grown yet. Someone has had to open the gate and step onto our turf in order to do this. Needless to say, if I catch the asshole who did this, there'll be hell to pay.
