We have approximately 49 plots in our garden. For the most part, everyone does pretty well and are actively gardening; however, from time to time I will receive reports of items getting stolen from the plots. Items such as vegetables, plants, garden decorations, etc. I have sent out reminders that theft is immediate grounds for termination of their garden memberships and we are considering the installation of cameras. Have any of you experienced this in the past? Or do you have any suggestions of what else I can do to discourage this type of behavior?
