Someone stole all the ripe chilies off my plants 😭 ( It's a courtyard complex with little front yards. But that also means it was a neighbour 😡 )

Maybe keep an eye on who is ordering a whole box (or 2) of Who Gives a Crap ...

In all fairness, so many people plant chillies as ornamentals only that the culprit MIGHT have thought that they would go to waste if not harvested. Maybe grizzle a bit at the next owner's corp meeting about theft of chillies.

Or (heh heh) put a placard up against the plants - with something like "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!"

It might not be a neighbour, I had all my chilis stolen overnight by a rat a couple of years ago. I blamed possums initially, but then I found the rat's nest in a pile of timber and it was stuffed full of chilies 🤣

I did wonder if it was animals

They left the one that had a big caterpillar hole. Are rats that fussy?

Could be. Most (all?) of them can’t feel the capsicasin
