New Zealand: Thieves ravage Christmas crops from community garden
“It’s like somebody’s putting us back 10 steps every time we do something.”

Excerpt:
Greedy thieves have plundered a Hamilton community garden leaving angry growers without their own spuds to boil on Christmas Day.
Two women laden with produce from “all over the garden” were confronted last week by Fairfield Project gardens co-ordinator Graeme Richer.
They claimed to not know it wasn’t theirs for the taking, but Richer says he’s heard that excuse too many times.
Signs at the garden entrance explain: Plots belong to individual gardeners, families and community trusts. The produce is their hard-earned reward, and is not free for the taking.
But the thieving continues – he’s also had other reports of veges going missing from their plots.
And this time last year was “terrible” for potatoes, Richer said.
“I don’t think many of us got potatoes at all. They nearly all got ripped up, ours included.”
“We had one lady who took one look at her potato crop last year and cried because she’d lost it all.”
