Agree Jonathan.
He comes to our gate selling stuff - I call the cops.
I see him in a neighbour's garden when they are not in- I call the sector
vehicle.

Hi

Anyone who buys stuff from people like this, especially when they are
things that are obviously stealable from someone's garden... ie.
Plants, Pots, Hoses, Ornaments, Garden Tools etc is either incredibly
naive or willingly supporting crime.

It is illegal to receive stolen goods. The word receive is used
because it doesn't matter whether you paid money for the goods or not.
All the state needs to do is prove that you probably should have known
that the goods were stolen, which in the case of hoses, pots etc is
pretty damn obvious.

I would happily press charges against an Observatorian if they were
stupid enough to buy something off one of these people that belonged
to me. If nobody bought the stuff these criminals wouldn't steal it.
That point needs to be driven home.
