We’ve been asked to help, in case anyone knows anything about this incident:
“I am a member of the Jackson Park P-Patch contacting you to relay some community news and ask for your assistance. My fellow gardeners and I are taken aback regarding a theft that occurred at the P-Patch earlier this week. We want to get the word out via social media to bring attention to this. Our hope is to get any information regarding the incident, as well as discouraging these types of events by making those who do these things aware that the public is watching. We would be willing to work with someone who has taken the furniture by mistake and is willing to return it.
Late Mon evening or Tues morning (8/26-8/27), someone took 2 chairs & a table. Description of items taken:
- Two Adirondack styled chairs but distinctive in that they have a flat, not back-slanted seat like most Adirondack chairs. Made of four inch plank cedar with a fresh clear stain. These chairs are an annual stocked item at Don Willis furniture.
- One small table also made of four inch plank cedar with fresh clear stain. Is in “picnic bench” style (the legs sort of criss-cross).
We had a group of gardeners join our P-Patch this year, Young Adult Stroke Survivors, thatuse our raised beds. This group needed places to sit & rest while gardening. Their leader worked very hard with the rest of our leadership team to write a grant, procure furniture, organize a work party to refinish it, transport it & install it at the site. Unfortunatly they only were able to use it for few short weeks before someone felt they needed it more.
