"When reported to police, the previous incidents were officially recorded as simply 'Theft, Other'. But they are examples of what is unofficially being categorised as Gardening Crime, or 'GC'. Gardening Crime deserves its own category because it has distinct, special, peculiar elements. It involves things of value which would be more secure kept indoors but which, by their very nature, cannot be. It doesn't threaten human life but involves the removal of their living, growing things. It doesn't invade the Englishman's 'castle' but it crosses the 'moat'. It is often considered too trivial to report, yet can spark extended bewilderment, upset and paranoia." [Crime & Criminals]
