We took a piece of old corrugated GI sheet from the house and used this as a temporary gate in the new garden. Around 12 noontime, we went home to eat lunch and rested for a short while. When we went back to the garden at about 1 PM, the temporary gate was gone! The temporary gate was missing. Right at the front of the entrance to the new garden is a neighbor's small sari-sari store. When we asked the owners of the store if they had seen anyone who might have taken the old GI sheet, they said that they didn't notice anyone because they closed the store around lunch time. How low can some people go to steal an old corrugate GI sheet? To think that we just put it there this morning and a few hours later it goes missing. If some people can steal an old GI sheet, how much more for the plants? I am wondering if it is just laziness on someones part that caused the person to steal the temporary gate. With this incidence, it is all the more important that we put a gate in this new garden and lock it up when we leave for the day to protect the plants from thieves. I would not want anyone to go stealing the fruits of our labor when we are not around to watch the garden. So now, it is not just the dogs and chickens that we have to watch out for, that includes bad people as well. Perhaps one of the neighbors surrounding this garden is pissed off because now that we cleaned out the place, they no longer have a place to dump their garbage. Anyway, we'll just have to do the best we can to get along with all of the neighbors so there will be no quarrels between us. God will take care of the rest for us.
