I had a guy start cutting down a tree on the front of our property in Mount Vernon, OH.... Lets just say when we heard the chain saw and went to the front of the property that he was a bit butt hurt after.

Stolen lawn Gnome return 7 months later with photo album.
David, maybe your plant will be back in six months with seedlings and a smile!

I hope by butt hurt you mean he got some bird shot in the ass. Thieves deserve worse
Maybe the plant's on vacation. Hopefully someone put it in a pot.
Now that I think about it, a few months back a pot disappeared from our front yard, too. Maybe it's a conspiracy.
You sure some wandering critter didn't eat it? I've lost plants that way. Coon or possum will eat the whole thing. Maybe a 'gator got your plant.

And all the dirt? That's the weird part.
Probably Florida Man, then. I had Arkansan Man hit me last weekend. Wife noticed the gate latch bent, like someone forced the locked gate. Played the video back (THANKS, CWH) and lookie there... Kid, maybe 20, built like a foo-ball player pulls into the driveway with a couch in the back of his truck. Gets out, walks to the edge of the property behind a tree, pees, goes back to the gate, rubs dirt on his hands, looks around, spots the water faucet next to the house, BREAKS THE BERKELEYING GATE LATCH to force the gate open, walks to the faucet, walks back, taking pictures of the house, closes the gate with the now damaged latch, drives off. I should up the pics I got on my NVR. Nice Hi Res stuff.
If the mailbox door was closed it wasn't the postal service... they never close the door.
The town the Yamaha dealership that I worked at back in the day required that we have a pair of potted evergreens by our front door. One on each side. For about a month and a half we'd come in Monday AM, find the trees gone, receive a citation on Wednesday and replace them just in time for them to disappear the next weekend. We were just about to go to the town board and raise a stink when they stopped disappearing. We never did figure out where they had been going. I always suspected that someone connected to the town just needed a bunch of potted evergreens.

A few times now the dealership I work for has had potted plants thrown at/onto cars. Maybe this is the other end of the cycle?
About a decade ago someone stole a statue of Mary locally from Nuns. I guess they never felt guilty enough to return it.

I'm still pissed about it to this day. Now, all our sweet lawn ornaments, including a gnome driving a pickup truck, a gnome riding a motorcycle, a gnome riding a giant snail, and a 2 foot tall super gnome, all live in the backyard with the yard donkeys. I still wish turtle gnome would come home.
Might have told this story here already, but there was someone w/ a lawn jockey in the town I grew up in. In NH. Idiots.
One pleasant evening my senior year of high schoool, a few of us, um, borrowed it. We gave it a tour of the town, including polaroid "selfies" (before they were selfies). Then we returned it to it's spot and left the pics in the mailbox.
edit: looks like we got one-upped hardcore. well played.
