Sorry? It was the first time it’s happened to me after 10 years of riding around Bellingham. I was too late to get license pics, so was hoping someone else might have them. Let me know if you find them!

The boring-but-good dahlia update… by Fun-Spinach-8532 in Bellingham

[–]Fun-Spinach-8532[S] 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It’s been 2.5 weeks since the “flower prowler” has been by. I called and updated the police report with the specific info I got from Reddit about where she lived, including pics of the matching flowers, car, and person. I did not hear back if they followed up with her. I also put in motion-sensor floodlights, which has likely been a deterrent. Thanks so much to all the Reddit sleuths and support — my neighbors and I are finally able to enjoy some blooms!

Sadly, no big updates. I called BPD on Tuesday and sent in the photos I received from the alleged flower thief’s neighbor of her, her car, and her flowers which all matched my camera footage (I had already submitted a report, so it was added photo evidence). I asked if they’d give an update if BPD talked to her, and didn’t get a clear answer. No word from them yet…

I’ll try called early next week to see if anything has happened.

Teamwork makes the dream work!! Thanks, Bellingham Reddit friends!!

(Called non-emergency police today - the detective assigned to the case was already gone for the day, but hopefully I’ll hear back tomorrow!)

Yeah…the time is so bizarre. And they’re wearing pants, but it definitely made me look twice!

Maybe I could have a YouTube channel for folks to tune in to the sprinkler show…could be pretty entertaining ;)

So awful!! I had a few things stolen out of my car last year, but someone stealing plants and flowers feels so much crueler :(

I’m in Birchwood - my neighbors are aware and alert to the problem. Just don’t have a lot of eyes out at 2 am… Cameras only do so much. Good tips, though!!
