Emma in Canada spotted this very un-Canadian note today in her neighborhood.
Meanwhile, Christa in North Carolina apparently takes her ripe tomatoes quite seriously, too.

You say tomato, I say passive-aggressive?

I think this is a perfect example of how different our countries are – Canada resigns themselves to eating their tomatoes before they’re ripe and America says they will cut off the head of someone who steals their tomatoes again.
USA! USA! USA!

Um, wouldn’t it be better to grow your tomatoes in your back yard? Or at least close to your house instead of really close to the street?
Also how do they know it wasn’t an animal that ate their tomatoes?

Um, have these people never heard of rabbits? I think they’re looking for a culprit in the wrong species…

The notes are pointless. Raccoons are quite clever, but they can’t read.

I didn’t even think “asshole” was a part of Canadian vernacular.

Simma down, now. Simma down. Have you checked the security camera? Nah. Didn’t think so.

If it is within arm’s reach of a public thoroughfare, I consider to be shared. Grow your food in your backyard if you don’t want it taken. I’m sure your neighbors would appreciate it too.

I have a pear tree in my front yard with ripe pears falling all over the place. My neighbors always stop and ask if they can take them, even though it is clear that I can’t begin to deal with them all.

On the other hand, I might be tempted to very carefully gather some poison ivy leaves and rub them all over some selected sacrificial tomatoes. Think of the pious sense of satisfaction in helping to elevate someone’s faltering honesty!

This just in…from my spam folder:
“Consuming red tomatoes linked to death”
“DONT have anything with tomatoes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner”
