Major heist at South End community garden

The Eight Streets Neighborhood Association reports somebody went to considerable trouble to steal the snow blower from the Berkeley Community Garden on East Berkeley Street sometime late Friday or early Saturday:

While there has been scattered vandalism in the garden over the summer, this seems to have been a well orchestrated event. They pried the handle and lock mechanism right off of the door and stole just the snow blower. Not being a smash-and-grab item, they may have had a vehicle waiting to haul the snow blower away.

How come the media only reports the bad things that happen in my neighborhood?

Well, first off, things like "gardeners harvest vegetables" isn't usually newsworthy. Although we did have a big garden cleanup last weekend, which we will submit to the paper - we'll see if they decide to publish.

As for this incident, I'm making sure it gets the rounds to see if any neighbors saw somethign while it may still be fresh in their mind - or if anyone sees someone selling a snow blower really cheap, they may be suspect.
