A clever burglar is using potted plants to help plan break-ins in the Lakewood area, according to a media report.
hat a burglar is targeting residents while they are on vacation. The burglar determines whether the resident is home by moving large potted plants around the house. If the potted plants remain undisturbed from the move, then the burglar knows the homeowner is away.

That wouldn’t work at my house. My dog re-arranges the potted plants on the porch daily...well, not so much ‘re-arranges’ them as tips them over! ;)
You sure these aren’t just out of work landscapers with too much time on their hands????

A perfectly penetrating presentation of the predicament of the purloined plants.
This doesn’t make much sense to me. If you have potted plants and you are away on vacation and you don’t have someone watering them for you, they are going to die. So the person watering them would notice they had been moved, and the homeowner had not done it, and wouldn’t they move them back?
In any case, these plants are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do:
If they were pot instead of potted ,hey wouldn’t be around long enough to move !
If you aren’t careful, one of these days they’ll walk all over YOU!
This just goes to show that the mind of the criminal is constantly evolving. I have plenty of neighbors who would tell me if someone weird was creeping around my property.
Then again, several of my neighbors are weird. I wonder if they would call the police on themselves?
People point to potted plants on private property to prevent purloining perpetrators.

Say that three times fast.
Or the homeowner is lazy like me.
If the potted plants remain undisturbed from the move, then the burglar knows the homeowner is away.
Or maybe busy cleaning my guns.
