Teens keep stealing our mangoes

Children get joy when they steal mangoes. For them it is a challenge.

I posted a poem some months ago titled "thieves" It mentioned the measures one lady was forced to take in order to be rid of mango thieves.

Perhaps you can have a digital cam so that it can record all of it. We have it in one of our houses since we don't go there often. And we can still watch it by the cams since we are away from it.

It would be better to buy from you than stealing it.

They must be hungry. Why else would they come out in the dark to steal mangoes off a tree? They're teenagers. They could be doing a lot worse. Like breaking into people's houses. Not saying it's right. I'm just saying.

I remember my childhood days, we use to steal our aunt's mangoes. Lol.

Personally, if they really want Mangoes that bad, they could come ask and maybe get some especially if there are extras. But when you continue to allow someone like that, as in their parents, unless they have no idea to do something like this next thing you know it becomes something bigger and leaves them wondering where did they go wrong to not prevent this.

It is very common for children to steal mangoes or any other fruits , it becomes a challenge for them when people don't allow to pick, but i understand when they cross the limits we don't like it.

Probably the neighborhood kids...

They are still doing it huh. You must catch them and punish them Lady.

don't they have the idea that it is one of our beliefs that when a food/fruit stolen is eaten, the eater will have stomach ache? probably they don't know, or refuse to believe in this.

Ha these thieves are really a problem, even if you want to catch them its not easy. They are usually good runners you see, they could use this in winning a medal in olympics which they won't

Although I wouldn't dream of stealing anything now as a child we frequently stole strawberries and apples from people's gardens plus peapods , raspberries and potatoes from the local farmers. None of us were starving it was just a bit of fun The people who went to crazy extremes to save their fruit from us just became an even bigger challenge to us we'd sit and plan with childish military style tactics how to get to the prize. I can remember 3 of us getting caught by an elderly guy when we were halfway up his apple tree.We were terrified we were about to be hauled to our parents or the police. The guy actually told us if we wanted apples just to knock the door and he'd give us some as there were more than he and his wife could ever use. He was more worried that one of us would fall and break our necks than the fact we were stealing apples. We never touched his trees again but they'd always give us a few apples if they seen us passing while they were in the garden.

It is a pain isn't it, losing fruits that way...

Yes, hope you catch them.
