Man Makes Punny ‘Wall Of Shame’ For Garden Thieves, Sparking Controversy

A man’s attempt to deter garden thieves by making a humorous “wall of shame” has backfired, leading to complaints from neighbors. The man, who caught the thieves on his car’s dash cam, printed pictures of them and put them on a poster with silly puns and fake names. While his mother found it hilarious and wanted it hung up, some neighbors found it rude and disproportionate.

One even had their minor son’s picture on it and asked for it to be taken down. The man’s response was to call the kid a “little Birch”. Another neighbor returned a cutting his wife took, damaged the plant, and asked for the sign to be taken down because his wife was on the town board. The man’s mother told him to buzz off.

Now, two families are annoyed. Was the man being petty or just trying to protect his mother’s garden? Let’s find out how this story unfolds.
