People stealing hybrids?

[JeanGiraffe]

OMG okay so I made this forum yesterday about the blue flowers, but turns out they stole my pink roses too!?!? They stole like 5 of them!?!? I am so mad!!! I have roses of all colors around my paths (except blue since I don't have any) and today I was watering them and noticed they were missing!?! I don't water my flowers everyday since I have the beautiful town ordinance. It must have been the same person!?! Ughhh so mad.....

So just so everyone knows, there is a THEIF among us!!!

And I just now read those other posts sorry about that! I'm really sorry people were trying to steal your flowers too!! Ughh people these days..... And I am going to start doing what you guys have said, I'm so lucky it was only a few since I have a bunch.

Ugh, how annoying, why do some idiots ruin it for others? Sorry to hear you lost your flowers. It happened to me a couple of times in Wild World but I've been lucky in NL so far. I can spare a couple of pink roses if you like?

 

[JeanGiraffe]

Aw thanks so much but that's okay! They will respawn quickly. I never played wild world and only discovered people played animal crossing with each other when NL came out! Lol Which I'm glad I have, it is a great community, besides this one bad experience. xD

not so much as a hybrid, but my "famous mushroom" vanished

That's disgusting. Could it have happened when you invited someone over for signatures?

Guess I won't be inviting anyone for a while.... I almost feel obligated to put pictures on my blog of all my gardens, just so I can check them every time someone came to my town.

 

[Zander]

I dont really care about the shroom that much. I would have given it away if asked.

I usually let people with good wifi rating come into my town for signatures and have them ask me for help if they can't find anyone (which they usually do) and all my trades are done by the train station. I just realized someone took my sloppy chair I hid behind Lopez's house. Not at the police station. Pretty upsetting. Hard to trust people as kind and generous most of them are.

Again, I'm really sorry about your hybrids. I don't keep a close eye on mine and I'm always watering/breeding more. I'm sure I've gotten a few stolen in the past :c

 

[PlasticPinkPiggy]

That happens to me all the time! I wish you could set a rule for people to not pick up hybrids in you town [And turn it off whenever you want]

 

[FancyThat]

I'm sorry about your flowers . I don't understand why people steal, especially on a nice friendly easy going game like AC, hope the virtual items are worth the bad karma and reputation if you're caught. I've never noticed anything missing from my town but it is a worry.

 

[JeanGiraffe]

Omg laurina that is so sad!!! It's like they was looking for something to steal!?! Some of the flowers were also behind a house because her house is parked on a path. And also I know a few bad people ruin the trust of us good people, then we are afraid of others stealing even if they are good people and ughhh. It's a bad cycle!

I'm almost tempted to go through all the people I have ever had run around my town recently and narrow it down. xD But I don't want to seem obsessed about it. Lol

 

[Laurina]

It happens :c and believe me I felt the same way. Some people take such simple and kind things for granted. And what bothers me even more is that most of us are so trusting and rely on wifi ratings that we realize things are gone too late and we've probably already gave that person a positive rating :c

Perhaps you should. That person is still in your friend list. Or maybe even best friend list.

Yes, this!! I give wifi ratings to everyone I ever do business with or even just have over. Ugh it's like I'm helping to scam others. They are probably even reading my thread laughing about it.....

J087 I only have 3 friends and I trust them, plus they weren't there when it happened. xD But I think I will try to figure it out because there hasn't been that many people over to look around my town.

 

[Laurina]

It's such a bad habit of mine that I give a wifi rating the second my visitor leaves my town -.- I mean seriously, the last thing on my mind is "okay, what did they steal?"

 

[Byngo]

Ah, I understand how you feel. People that I *thought* were my good friends decided to steal my flowers and ruin my landscaping after we had a disagreement over something minor. So very childish... ;x;

 

[DJStarstryker]

I haven't had this happen yet, though there's so far only 2 people I'd trust to wander around my town unsupervised, my closest 2 ACNL friends that I met here on TBT. Everyone else I supervise them - either the trade happens at the train station or I lead them to wherever the giveaway or whatever is going on. I have them leave immediately after it's all over. I did let a few people wander around unsupervised back before I started breeding hybrids, so there was nothing for them to take. They didn't do anything bad anyway.

Nowadays, I'm trying to pretty up my town, so wouldn't let most people go unsupervised. Just the few people I really trust. If they wander off, I'd probably flick the WiFi switch. So far, I haven't needed to.

I've had one person steal from my town and that's when I let my guard down once! I left
My gates open when I went for a meal so someone could sell all their turnips! I came back to find that they had taken my perfect apples! I was unimpressed because I couldn't replant it as it was surrounded by bushes and what not! I am very wary on who I let in my town, basically only people I like and chat to on a daily basis on here!

 

[Fawning]

I have a lot of hybrids in my town as I'm trying to make my town look pretty and I'm actually too scared to let people come over my town incase they steal or run over them, which is silly. I'm so sorry that it happened to you, it's horrible sigh.

 

[AnimeK]

I'm very sad. I trusted someone to walk around my town without supervision, and they stole an orange pansie, my only blue pansie, a pink Cosmo, a jacob's ladder, and a purple rose. I didn't know until he left. I really hope I get them back! >_<
