Now hmmmmm... have we recently imported a criminally prone people, who are especially reknown for harvesting crops?

This is a real brain teaser.

But you can’t get Americans to pick them for an hourly wage.

Strange thefts. Not that much money in it for the thieves, especially since they had to harvest, first.

Some of the illegals hired for seasonal harvesting have been prosecuted and sent away for the same organized stunt in my area.

More than a few decades ago, a local grower was accused of cleaning out an orchard of his competitor to drive business to him. I don't think he was ever charged. Competition can be tough in farming.

There was a farm here in Arkansas growing pumpkins, about 8 acres worth, their entire crop was stolen like that also.

Criminal mindset-— “Well they shouldn’t have left all those apples unguarded. If I want something, and it’s there for the taking, why shouldn’t I take it?”

“There was nothing there,” said Ryan Spicer, the grandson of Alan Spicer, the farm’s founder. We were appleleptic.
