A friend planted a peach tree in his front yard, but close to his house. One year, that tree was loaded with peaches. Big beautiful peaches. His wife picked the peaches, but could not reach the high ones. He was out of town for a few days and she doesn't do ladders. When he got back he said he would pick the rest of the peaches the next day for her. When he went out to pick the peaches, someone had come during the night - with a ladder - and stole every last peach off his tree. CHEEKY DEVIL! They also managed to break 1/2 the branches off in the process because it was such a young tree. The tree was never the same.
I have no patience for thieves. Ask and I will probably help you out, just don't steal from me.
