This has been a long-time problem, pathetic slackers too cheap or lazy to buy or grow their own plants stealing the work of others out of planters or tree pits. I remember similar signs in some of the tree pits on 10th Street between 1st and 2nd Aves. in, I think, the 80s and/or 90s, cos people would just walk by and rip out the plants and flowers the residents of the block had carefully planted and nurtured.

I thought those "Please Do Not Take Plants" signs were just in Chinatown; I guess it's anywhere people want to spruce up their homes a little.

ReplyDeleteJoke's on the thief. That plant was an Audrey 2.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago they used to plant bulbs in Stuy Town but the old bats would dig them up. Karma is a bitch.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply vandalism, nobody is taking a plant like this "home".
