    1. I’d call it mildly infuriating. This is YOUR tax money that will go into fixing it. Stealing things paid by the public is incredibly stupid imho

    3. I saw a movie about this once. I believe it was called, Fun with Dick and Jane. Great documentary. /s

    4. Are you sure it’s not someone in your council trying to do legitimate work? I’m not from your area so idk

      Police statement from earlier

      “Detectives have some turf choices to make, Sadly some of the evidence is soiled.

      Stolen items are camouflaged so maybe turf to spot.

      A forlawn attempt to seek witnesses has proved fruitless. A clear motive remowns to be seen.

    6. At least that will grow back. In our area, someone is lighting playgrounds on fire. 😭

    7. Looks like a lot of the nearby grass is dead/dried out, maybe the turf is being removed to be replaced later by the city? Idk if that makes sense but it seems more likely than someone stealing turf in such a haphazard pattern.

    8. When I was young we used to have a metal swing set with a metal slide out back. When we were out shopping one day the swing set got hit by lightning and blew all the grass up onto the roof. My mom called my dad and told him someone was stealing our grass, haha. It also blew up most the electronics in the house too and blew little holes in all our copper pipes.

    9. Happens a lot. In my council, a local woman was removing flowers from people’s gardens and selling them in bunches. Whole town was furious with her, but police wouldn’t do anything. Until…

      One day she decided to steal roses from the front of a council building. One with cameras.

      That’s gotta be lucrative. When I go on the dark web and buy stolen turf, it’s like…uhh….
