I got up this morning and went straight out to see my lotus again. It started opening yesterday and I was all set to see it open even more today. As soon as I walked out the back door my day was ruined. The little bastards that have been breaking into my yard and destroying things struck again. They picked my lotus and threw it on the ground along with a bunch of lotus leaves and waterlily leaves. they pulled all of my solar lights out of the ground and threw them in the pond and out on the front sidewalk. They also threw a bunch of the large rocks into the pond and one fell on the American Lotus that I started from seed. it broke of leaves but I think the growing tip is still alright. If they break the growing tip the whole lotus dies. They already killed of several other lotus earlier this year and they killed a bunch of my fish. They trampled some of my native orchids and jack in the pulpit. Today I ordered a security camera system and hope to catch them in the act. I have reported these occurrences to the police and report every time they come back so they can keep a record of when and the damages. These kids think they are getting away with this but it just takes time. They come past my house while I am outside and yell to me that they killed more fish or that they destroyed certain things. The Neighbors have watched them and have also reported this to the police. If I find out who they are then I will press charges and hold their parents liable for all the damages.
