Stolen Trees – Sad Story
I spotted this over on Mike Jones blog Bonsai Passion. It’s a link to a news article about trees being stolen from an 87 year old man in England. Sad to read an article such as this. What sort of human would do this?

Stolen Tree Recovered
You many remember that I post THIS back in September about a Stolen Hornbeam.
Good News, the tree has been recovered. I believe that there’s more to the story but to keep the facts correct, I’ll paste below the correct info direct from Mike’s Bonsai Passion Blog.
‘Back in September of this year, I brought sad news of a bonsai theft from John Trott … aka, Mendip Bonsai
The theft occurred whilst JT was exhibiting at the Royal Bath & West show.
During the last week, this beautiful Bonsai has been recovered. Sadly, not as it once was when owned by John. The tree was successfully recovered in the Manchester area of the Country.
The hugely important fact, is that due to concerted effort by many to circulate this information as quickly as possible, has undoubtedly been instrumental in said recovery. Had this information not been circulated as much as it had, then it is likely John would never have been contacted … regarding HIS tree!
Thank you to everyone who did all they could to make people aware of this theft. It has on this occasion paid dividends.
I am unable to go into further detail at this time.’
STOLEN BONSAI – Bristol, UK
Yesterday this Blackthorn bonsai was stolen from a collection near Bristol, south west.
A full description of the tree can be found at http://snsyamadori.co.uk/blackthorn then scroll down to Blackthorn 5.
Please be on the look out for this bonsai.
There is a healthy reward for anyone who can give any information which leads to the return of the tree.
Stolen Bonsai West Yorkshire
Some thieving ‘toe rag’ has been at their work stealing bonsai in West Yorkshire. As many of those following this blog are from the UK, I thought I would add a post about it.
The stolen bonsai can be seen on an IBC thread. Just click the stolen tree below to see the rest of them.
Whoever stole them obvious had an eye for good material as opposed to finished bonsai, so they knew what they were looking for.
