Residents watch for porch pirates in their neighborhood. 'Yard pirates' are stealing expensive plants from front yards.
TUCSON, ARIZ. — Porch pirates are often targeting unopened packages from doorsteps, but now “yard pirates” are hitting the neighborhoods of Tucson.About 10 Agave plants were taken from Still’s front yard on Thursday.“We had about 10 of those plants so by the time you start multiplying it, it was like $300 so it actually makes a big difference,” said Still.
“I paid a lot of money for that landscaping and to have all those plants gone, and they pick out the ones that were most expensive,” said Still. “They will usually bite off pieces of a plant, but they don’t use a shovel to dig the whole plant up. The whole plant was disappeared from root on,” Still said.After receiving over 70 comments on the app, Still had neighbors reach out about having extra Agave plants to give to her yard.
