Sign of a lonely plant on East 4th Street



Vinny & O spotted this guilt-inducing stolen plant sign outside Bond Street Chocolate on East Fourth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery...



Please return the plant.

It was very happy here. Its sibling is very lonely now.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Joke's on the thief. That plant was an Audrey 2.

  4. Many years ago they used to plant bulbs in Stuy Town but the old bats would dig them up. Karma is a bitch.

  5. This is simply vandalism, nobody is taking a plant like this "home".
