LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — First, the burglar took a pond filter, then, a pump in another break-in.
After a $400 koi disappeared over the weekend from the Tsugawa Nursery in Woodland, it was pretty clear a water gardener had turned bad.
The daughter of the owners, Karen Tsugawa, told Cowlitz County sheriff’s deputies she believes someone is building a pond with stolen parts and fish.
The Daily News reports (http://is.gd/lO3Ups ) the nursery has been selling exotic plants and fish for more than 30 years, and this is the first time it has been hit by a rash of burglaries.
