Lottieguy, unfortunately it's a sign of the times, respect has gone out the window along with civility and the list goes on. I'm a firm believer in what goes round comes round, rest assured these people will get theirs eventually, it might come from a very unsuspecting source and when they think why me.... they should think back about their own actions and what they have done, I have seen this happen time and time again.
Still it's very disheartening to find what you have put so much into growing only to find it gone, especially if l you're like me love to share what you grow.
