Pic: It seems that people in Offaly are very protective of their flower pots

There must be a few bad seeds around the place.

The streets of Tullamore at night are the same as any other town in Ireland, you’ll be grand once you don’t go looking for trouble.

However, apparently there are some green-fingered thieves in the area and the locals have taken action.

This flowerpot, which is pretty bare looking now, is obviously very valuable to someone.

This is the sign posted on the side of it.

Let’s hope that the sign will prevent any more shrubberies in the area.

We’ll get our coat.

Hat-tip to Bob Flavin who sent this our way.
