Primroses -- Happy Spring!

So a bit of sad news, at least it makes me sad. I had nine little terra cotta pots with primroses in them on the front porch in this sort of built-in grid structure and it was maybe a little extra-cute but I love them in the springtime. A few days ago three of them disappeared and I was talking to one of my neighbors and she had had three pots of pansies disappear from her porch. Today I noticed the other six primroses were gone... I mean, who steals potted plants from your front stoop? It significantly decreases my faith in humanity.
