Holly,

I completely understand how you feel. Why would someone do that? The worst thing about it is that it wears you down to the point where you are unwilling to spend any more cash for fear of more damage, and that is just not right. I think a lot of the time it's a case of kids on the street with nothing to do but cause mischief, without really understanding the implications of what they are doing. In some ways I'd rather believe that were the case and not the actions of an adult.

When you say it's too much for you to replace, do you mean it's too heavy? If that is the case I will gladly give you a hand replanting it, I live further down Dev Rd with my girlfriend.

Don't let them win.
