    My grandfather, he had a big garden with lots of plants, had been banned from most of the garden stores within a 20 mile radius of his home because he was known to pick leaves of the plants and make saplings out of them.

    When he was 76, we had to pick him up from a local police station, since he insulted the officers whilst picking saplings and being caught for driving without a seatbelt.

    I miss him.

    People picking leaves off plants and damaging them is clearly shitty, and I can see why they would prevent “no it fell off by itself honest” as an excuse.

    Theft is when you use your own labor to foster the natural resources that grow on this planet and don’t give the pwner class their cut.
