Hi Laaz, very sorry about that.
There is something I don't understand. Most of us know how to graft. Why did he (or she) stole the tree and not only a twig?
Laaz, tell us what citrus it is. First it will be easier to look around for it, and then I'm sure someone on this forum will find a new one for you.

Laaz,
That's sad. To only take that one plant says a lot.
The person knows enough about citrus to know it's value. They would not be able to sell it easily. Most the people who would be interested in it are on the forum.
One possibility would be for there own personal collection. But This would be someone who has an extended collection.
When I was a teenager I did wood carving with 6 people each year at a local Trade School. My grandfather gave me a old Russel Barlow knife the kind with an arrow through the "R". They hadn't been made in many years and was a very collectible knife.
So, I took it to the Wood Carving class to show my friends my prize....by the end of the class the knife was no where to be found.

Sorry to hear about that.

I believe in karma and what this person did is inexcusable.

When people open their hands are hearts to help others and get repaid in this manner is low class.

Hope you can find out who did this.

Laaz,
I am very sorry and shoked to hear about the loss of your tree. I agree with the others that the person who did this is the worst type of individual and hope that they get what is coming to them. I also hope along with others that this individual does not diminish your passion for citrus. You have been a great source of informaiton and I believe that good things will happen for you.

Sad to hear. Unfortunately, I know the feeling. I hope it turns up somehow and the thief gets what he deserves.

What kind was it?

can i replace it with anything i have? or i can find in south louisiana. free

I am sad to hear of this loss.
I can most assuredly say I know exactly how you feel. Someone visited my place in my absence and stole over $1200 worth of rare Japanese grafted maples, and other one of a kind trees and plants.
I later found them planted in a neighbor's yard one street over from me.
The police pretty much told me "tough luck" and went their way.
That is why I will never let anyone on my property again to look at my stuff.

You are a better man than me because I would have to confront my neighbor or at least take my trees back by any means I could.

The simple fact is, I'm not a guy, but a lady. The neighborhood where I live is rife with low-life types, I don't dare to say anything.
I might wake up with my house on fire or worse.
I am currently searching for land to get out to myself.

Well..............
I'm one of those people who has been to your house, drooled all over your plants, and has been the thankful benifactor of your generosity.

I guess that the fact that I've not logged on to the site in a long time might seem suspicious. However..................

I'm not the culprit.

I consider you my friend, but even if I disliked you, stealing is against my moral code. I've got pieces of the stuff you gave me still hanging in there, and you are welcome to anything that I have. I hope you find out who it was. I hope that you will call me again.

What a shame!
I've heard of this happening with other collectors- they show off their rarest plants to visitors and a little later they are stolen.
I too, would make a list of everyone who has been to your house and was told about the plant. Even neighbors, anyone you showed it off to.
Out of curiosity I'd like to know which one it was, too..
Keep an eye on ebay as well!

A good way to soften the pain of situations like this is to share what you have with others-- that's what I do. When I have something like that ---that is important to me ,I let my friends have some of it so if mine dies, gets stolen , a animal or a branch destroys it-- I can go to the folks I shared it with and get a piece back from them. Othewise it's a hard lesson learned (hopefully)
