Seriously? The [Flatbush Development Corporation](http://fdconline.org/?ref=bklyner.com) posted yesterday on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FDConline/status/349117417147990016/photo/1?ref=bklyner.com) that a hydrangea that they’d planted in a street tree bed outside their office on Newkirk Avenue had been dug up and stolen. You’ll note that it was planted by volunteers in a public place for everyone to enjoy.

Here are two of the hardworking ladies in 2012, Robin Redmond of the FDC and Mavis Theodore of NANA, who have done a great job helping the street look so much nicer.

We’ve heard of [porch furniture being lifted](/blog/crime/is-your-porch-furniture-secure), have noticed [decorative greens being snipped away](/blog/garden/whos-stealing-from-tracey-hohmans-garden), and have even seen an [FDR memorial snatched](/blog/crime/fdr-memorial-stolen-from-avenue-i), but this one’s new to us. Can’t we have nice, public things?
