I just planted a small Japanese maple and a number of flowers in the planter; let's see how long they last!

How can I close this issue? the flowers are still stolen, and I am apprehensive about putting more out. Someone who cares about the improvement of this area should care that flowers are beign regularly stolen.

1 march 2012,
no no one returned the flowers. I am apprehensive about putting out more though they would enhance our store, and be nice for everyone to see.

April 21, 2012 STOLEN AGAIN - that's because a blue hydrangea was planted for Easter, to help our shop, make the block look Springlike and festive. But someone decided they needed it more than the rest of us, and STOLE it out of our planter yesterday between 2:30 and 6:15 on a busy sunny,Saturday afternoon. This THIEVERY damages EVERYONE; why doesn't someone do something about it?

this thief also put my pink tulips in place of the more expensive hydrangeas, moving them from their spot to try to cover up the empty place.

You think this issue should be closed, but it is left up to show how there is a pattern here that must be addressed. My neighbor told me the flowers are an 'attractive nuisance'.
Attractive nuisance is a defense to trespass by children used in tort law. The doctrine of attractive nuisance is premised on the belief that one who maintains a dangerous condition which is likely to attract children on their property is under a duty to post a warning or take affirmative action to protect children from the dangers of that attraction. It imposes a duty to be sensitive to potentially danderous conditions which are likely to attract children. The attractive nuisance doctrine typically doesn't apply to adults.

How can flowers in a planter be considered 'dangerous'? overly stimulating the thief to steal?
Should we all protect the potential thief by NOT putting flowers out?
