stolen bonsai

Summary:

5 bonsai trees were stolen from my porch on the morning of 4/26/08 japanese black pine, blue atlas cedar, mugo pine, bristlecone pine, procumbens juniper. These trees have little monetary value, but great sentimental value to me as I created them in memory of loved ones. Reward for return.

What neighborhood area are you located in?
If there is a better idea of the area, locals may have seen something.

While walking my dog, I noticed four or five bonsais on a porch on 20th, just north of Denny (maybe 1/3 of the way down, no noticeable address posted.) They do look very similar to the ones above.

I have no idea if they'd been there all the times I've passed by, but happened to notice due to the post about this on CapitolHillSeattle. No idea if they're yours, but maybe worth a look?

Thanks, Joe. I took a walk past the house and the trees weren't mine, but it did give me the opportunity to talk with the owner and let him know about my trees being stolen. He said he would move his so they might avoid a similar fate as mine. He was really cool, he actually gave me one of his trees so I could start over on my collection. It made my day! Karma is real.

Very cool!

Everyone should note this moment: The internet was used to do something worthwhile!

I recently had most of my bonsai collection stolen. Can we get together and brainstorm about who may have taken our bonsai? I may have a lead and wonder if we had similar circumstances. I think you can contact me via my e-mail.
