It is disgusting how people think theft is perfectly OK, they try to justify it by saying it's only some veg, but they forget we've had to buy the seeds, seed compost, potting on compost, heat the greenhouse, then spend our time looking after the seeds/ plants, planting out, feeding the plants, watering them etc

Sounds like some of the people who stole from the communal garden here—their level of entitlement was through the roof when people talked to them. As for your time and costs, that's not their problem. I'm tempted to refer to the thieves as Karens but that's an insult to the Karens I know.
