OK for months now ive Noticed some missing plants.
but now im totally Pissed.

My Cara Cara Orange tree is gone
My new Banana Pup from Millet is Gone .

Only 1 person ever in my back yard and thats the new electric meter reader.
I have an 8 ft wooden fence so no- one can see over.
the plants are in my private area for me only and They broke my Blue Cement Pot .

i know all this can be replaced but I think its the meter reader.

Yesterday i got a letter .
saying since my gate was locked they where going to guess the amount of electricity Used.

1 i was home all week i get up at 5 am and bed is after midnight.
why didnt he knock on the door.

2 hes been the only one in my yard and has been asking me about plants.
what they need as fertilizer and what kinda dirt how much to water and so on.
3 Why didnt he Knock.?
4 Hes new and hes also the only one ever been back there .
I dont invite people back there the kids and i work only on the front yard and plant things in my front yard . as well as when we plant for them its in the front yard . the only space big enough for all of us . 25-45 kids and me its messy and safer there .Tammy

Tammy, 1st, call POLICE & tell them same story. Make a list of all that is gone/broken, & describe them in detail... how much $$ to replace. The cops can find out who meter man is & go to his house & check for the plants. Then, tell your electric Co. & they should fire him. Hope you get things back. The NERVE of some people!

Please go slowly.
Unless you have a very truly hard evidence it is not good to tell the police or anyone your suspicion.
A lot of people get hurt that way.
Just a friendly reminder.

1 the neighbor seen him In my back Yard thursday
2 the note that i had the gate locked and was home all day
3 the size 14 shoe
4 the fact he didnt read the meter ment he was hidding something .

Patty i used to work on cases cant tell you how who or what but i can tell you i was good at it and investigating comes easy if you know what to look for .

he was the only one whose ever been back there and i did some of my own searching got ahold of his best friends wife gave a line and got his address . then went and looked for myself seen my plants inside the house threw an open window 8 miles away called 911 and reported that either they show up or im going in loaded. Tammy

Something is really wrong here....how could you get size 14 shoe prints today? It is so hot & dry. How could you do this so fast esp on a Sunday? Only Cops would be able to match his shoeprints, & they don't work this fast...takes a couple days or so. You never mentioned cops.
How could they get to his house & get his shoes to match markings this fast? How did they know who to go to? , to match footprints? something is wrong here Tammy. You're not telling the whole story. There's a lot missing here. Crying or Very sad

You said he's a new meter reader. How would you know who his best friend is, or best friends wife?
