My heroine could keep an aloe plant in her apartment. How hard are they to grow? Would it die while she's off robbing Euroweenie art collections?
The toaster is harder...
They are desert plants and mighty tough. They don't like extreme cold, though they can take some frost. They need lots of light and heat and like well-drained soil.
She could use the toaster as a means of transporting her loot - maybe stash the jewels in the little tray at the bottom.
Or maybe one object d'art is a gold-plated toaster.
Heh...I'm not having any problems. 'Course, maybe I should stop watering them.
