A beautiful pink rosebush disappeared from the garden in front of an apartment building on Kaunase Boulevard in Tartu during the night of May 29. A local resident shared information about the incident on Facebook in the community group "Spotted: Tartu", hoping to get a lead on the thief.

According to the woman, it was a beautifully flowering rosebush that had adorned the garden in front of the apartment building. The thief apparently came under cover of darkness to take the flower — on the security camera, he left no smile behind.

Such an incident reminds us that even a seemingly minor theft is still an illegal act. The gardens in front of residential buildings are shared spaces, for which all the building's residents are responsible.
