re: OT JURY-Did Harold Over-React To The Theft of His Satsumas or was His Anger Righteous?

Yeah but that is not as fun as the other options stated in this thread. He should wait for theses people with a BB gun or paint gun. Not lethal, but gets the point across.
If it continues……do what you need to do. I will gladly serve on that jury and vote innocent. No one likes a thief.

Several years back I knew a guy who decided he was going to get into the tomato growing bidness. He studied the bidness, borrowed the money, bought the stuff he needed, and planted 200+ tomato plants.
He cared for them the best he possibly knew how. One day, he decided to take a couple days trip to see his sister. That was no big deal, the plants were mostly doing well covered with huge amounts of large green tomatoes just waiting to ripen. The weather was going to be great, and he'd only be gone two nights.
His trip went well, he had a blast with his sister and nieces/nephews. He rolled back in to his driveway a couple hours before dark. He went in the house, checked things out, and headed out the back door towards the tomato patch.
The field looked good from a distance, but the closer he got the clearer the picture became. He noticed before he even got to the outside rows. Something was terribly wrong!
Whilst he was away relaxing, some treacherous souls with larceny in their hearts had pulled up to his beloved patch. Clearly they had backed their ride to the end of the field, hopped out, and commenced to picking green tomatoes.
They plucked from the vines every single green tomato of any size that the man had to his name. The only thing left was a few barely discernible marble-sized green dots.
The man was distraught! He couldn't believe someone would do such a vile act. He was heartbroken, inconsolable, really. For in his mind, he had already ripened, harvested, and picked his bumper crop of juicy, red tomatoes. However, it was not to be.
He never left home after that day with the tomatoes in the field. He put up trail cams, and even camped out in the fields when the next, puny by comparison to the first, wave of tomatoes were at the same stage.
He never found who did the despicable deed. He could never understand why they jumped on the green tomatoes instead of waiting for them to ripen. Why, he asked, would anyone want untold bushels of green tomatoes when they could have ripe ones in a few weeks time? The event scarred him for life, I'm sure of it.

Little dramatic but stealing is stealing.
He saw them in broad daylight and didn’t approach them cause he’s a black man? Doesn’t sound like the marine attitude.

My level of outrage depends on whether the fruit trees in his front yard or did the thieves go thru a fence gate into the backyard to steal them?
If front yard, it was probably just some little grade school kids walking past that didn’t know any better

Sounds like Harold should have had his satsumas in the backyard and not in front.
But, it's still stealing.

Everyone should be required to sit in at City Court and watch all the pecan bandits get their just punishments. It’s quite an experience…

Bottom line, always ask first
We had two Bartlett pear trees in our side yard growing up. Most years, you would have to prop the branches up with bean poles to keep them from breaking. People would always come to the door and ask before they picked grocery bags full, or even the occasional 5 gallon bucket. Can’t say that I ever remember anyone just walking in the yard and picking without asking, but this was also the late 90s, and people were just better people, in general.

He's in the right. You should ask first before picking fruit.

Throwing in irrelevant shite like this at the end makes me think this guy is a major attention whore.
But, yeah, people should stay off other people's property unless invited or you go ask for permission.

If the person grabbed the satsuma off the tree and ate it, not stealing
If the person took it way, stealing

Why would people feel it’s ok to walk in someone’s yard to pick fruit hanging from someone else’s tree? That’s no different than stealing a package off someone’s porch or a toy off the front lawn.
I’d love to see some of the neighborhood responses to that post.

His property, so he’s right. We have a huge electrical distribution line that crosses our property. We own the land, and the utility has a lease. We probably get a half dozen knuckleheads who cross or cut a barbed wire fence to drive their ATVs across our land. And, when we catch them, they act like we are the crazy ones.
Having said that, I was in a utility ROW doing work near Broadmoor last year when I encountered some ripe blackberries. I picked a double handful while standing in the ROW at my company’s equipment platform, and promptly got accosted by a Karen when I walked back out. Apparently they take fruit stealing seriously over there.
