How can I stop flower boxes from being stolen in the front garden?

I have a ground floor flat which is pretty close to the pavement and I want to put up some flower boxes on the window ledge. How can I stop them from being stolen?

Sad as it is to say think you would have to screw them down adn maybe plants also that are not as freindly with thorns.:) Hope you have better luck.
Reply:Concrete, or big bolts. Unfortunately, there's always going to be some idiot who will steal this kind of thing - and the worse bit is, they won't do it to feed a drug habit, or even buy food. If they do get knicked, you'll probably find them in pieces at the end of the road.
Reply:It wont be very easy to stop sneak thieves,the best advice I can give is tell the law and get a neighbourhood watch.
Reply:plant some cactus and nettles
Reply:A small motion light that goes on when someone gets close, have it shine on a sign that reads "stealing plants is bad Karma". Plant prickly plants around it, and/or place cardboard covered with honey around the flower box with a skull and crossbones signifying poison. It's probably the same people who think it's a fun prank, and have no idea how much your plants mean to you. Hopefully you'll be rid of them.
Reply:Mount a phony camera with a sign saying I'm watching you now thief!
Reply:Put them in the back garden!!
Reply:You could put something "gross feeling" like vaseline on the sides. They wouldn't likely proceed with picking the flower box up once they realized it was covered with an unknown slippery substance.
Reply:Fix a bracket and screw them in place.
Reply:Plant land mines.
Reply:screw them down
Reply:Just give up and emigrate to Spain. There the people respect and appreciate window boxes and plants outside your home. Here, well, there's not respect for anything.
Reply:Bolt them if possible or put blocks or someting very heavy in the bottom so that they would be difficult to carry



Good Luck
