I have hanging plants on my front porch .... nobody has ever interfered with them apart from my neighbour, who has real green thumbs, who waters them when I forget. Maybe stealing useless shlt (well, not worth anything to the thief) is a Brit thing that hasn't made it over here yet.
It doesn't even rate as real vandalism: "vandalism" is painting the basket flourescent green (like the socks I used to wear in my early teens), or dumping it on the doorstep. Doesn't seem like there is much point to stealing it
