I feel your pain. My dad had most of his collection stolen when he was away over 20 years ago. They were all native uk trees as he couldn't afford to buy any others. He lost heart and never grew bonsai again. I have his only remaining tree. This Hawthorn is of more value to me than any of my other trees. I hope they are found quickly
Oh my, that is horrible. I feel for your dad. I live in the states and have never heard of such thefts. Most of my babies are in my yards, front and back. Thinking I should place a motion sensor now. Mine are NOT expensive though. I did them myself. Lol
A bonsai enthusiast should not buy a stolen tree. A bonsai artist will never even think of doing something like this. I hope the thieves will be caught and the trees will be recovered intact.
So sorry to hear about this theft.... It's not all about money, it's the emotion and effort put in these trees over decades, that's the real loss.. hope they come up somewhere and the bastards are caught!
I’m so sorry to hear your beautiful bonsai’s have been stolen. I do hope you get them back Peter 🙏 I love your podcasts and this news makes me very sad for your loss.
I keep praying that you can recover the trees. You have given them your love, care and many years of your life. I also pray these thieves go to prison for this. God bless you Mr. Chan.
You are an inspiration to me, not only in good but especially during bad times we can see how much of love and hope you share. You are an astonishing human being and I wish you the very best and that your wonderful trees will return. Stay healthy and positive! 🌳🌲💚
@@peterchan3100 You are highly welcome. I am really looking forward to visiting you and your nursery next year in your anniversary with hopefully all woes settled sooner than later.💚 That means a lot to me and in future hopefully to my young son too.
HelloPeter, I also am a firm believer in "What comes around goes around". The number of times i have helped someone out and the good luck i have experienced is imesurable. I have a feeling these trees will turn up somehow. Such a specialised thing to steal when they could have just gone shoplifting. Some people out there must know about these trees. Lets hope they question the supplier and get in touch with you. Best Regards, David.
Hi Peter, sorry to hear that you have had your trees stolen. As a follower of your videos and a frequent visitor to Herons, I was so saddened to hear of the theft of your trees that I was compelled to write my first ever comment on you tube. I hope that you are able to recover the trees. Best wishes. Mike
Thanks for the video Peter. It is terrible to see these kinds of thefts across the globe! Crazy right now, and then these trees show up on online sales and auction sites. We can all be vigilant and hopefully, now that the pictures are out there, you may recover the trees.
Peter, perhaps you have the last tree filmed in one of your walk-throughs? Glad to hear this is getting good publicity and I hope they catch the thieves.
So sorry to hear about it and seeing your trees getting stolen. A lifetime of hard work and dedication is gone, so ruthlessly stolen. I am sure police with the help of the public will be able to recover them especially in the presence of CCTV camera footage. Many of my plants were stolen too but never got recovered here in Karachi Pakistan. One bougainvillea was stolen in exactly the same manner as you described one of your trees. The tree was plucked out of its pot and carried away in the biker's lap on a motorcycle and the pot was carried away by the pillion rider along with a few other smaller trees tucked under his arms.
My husband and I are so sad about this and I hope we as a community can get the word out about this. Police officers often solve crimes by getting clues from groups like this. We will pray for the recovery of your beautiful trees. Peace & Grace. 🙏
It's amazing how you were coincidentally discussing that tree theft tracking device with that gentleman at the bonsai show you posted recently. Hopefully if you are reunited with your trees they are not harmed beyond saving.
So sad that people are so heartless and do not realize the time that is invested to create beautiful Bonsai. Plus the love we all have for our trees, they’re part of us. I hope you get some of them back. I too was robbed and lost some trees from my home, very sad society has shrunk to this low.
So sorry for your loss. I pray you get them back. These thieves looked like they knew where to go. They probably have been there before. I hope anyone who sees these guys will report them.
I don't know why anyone would target you Peter, your like the most kind hearted person. This just breaks my heart hearing such bad unfortunate news. I truly hope they make their way back home to you. I also feel really bad for the customers tree that got caught up in this horrible situation. The only thing I can think of is send you a virtual hug. 🫂
I’m sure karma will haunt them forever. The insane amount of hours, passion, love, patience you put into these nature’s wonders is absolutely honorable. I’m not a believer but in this case, I pray that they will be found, because mother Nature knows what you did. Thank you for everything.
The audacity and nonchalance of those thieves is astonishing and sickening. 🤬I hope Karma comes on VERY swift wings, as well as the safe return of the missing trees. Much love ❤️
I am sorry to hear of the theft. This is going to become a bigger problem. I have personally have trees stolen out of my yard in San Francisco. Our local public volunteer bonsai garden in Oakland was burglarized this year. In our area theft is not prosecuted due to the political landscape. When the Oakland Bonsai garden was burglarized the police would not even show up because it was”just theft”. Owning trees that are highly desirable is challenging. A bonsai collection needs to be outdoors and takes significant space. Maybe we have something to learn from other cultures where punishment for theft is harsh. Steal a tree loose a hand seems appropriate to me. I hope you get your trees back and that the thieves get what they deserve. God bless you as well Peter.
Sir Peter you have my prayers. People these Trees are like very Young Children that that Can’t survive Without Mothers Care. Please find these Trees Police. I hope the Sick Tree that was in Doctor Peter’s Care be found. These Trees need Water and Love
Most people are good but there’s always dark souls around us. Don’t trust everyone. Put cameras everywhere and electronic tags. Do a video inventory of what you have. Send you a big hug and love from Northern California ❤😢
I can’t imagine your pain Peter I am 12 and I’ve been trying to turn a pine tree into a bonsai tree for 2 years since my old one got stolen which I spent 4 years trying to train . Which was in my greenhouse in my yard
Keep your head up Peter. I am sorry you have to navigate this violation. The thieves will get their penance in time, and I hope your trees find their way back to your sanctuary. Keep the faith, brother. There are way more honest, kind people in this world than not…and we’ve got arms around you. All the best.
Absolutely painful, people don’t understand the hard work and dedication that goes into making this Trees.. Peter karma does exist, I know that doesn’t ease the pain but one thing for sure things will not go well for these thieves..
Hello Peter, I watch you a lot but rarely comment. I have to say how disgusting it is that anyone would steal those beautiful trees, trees you've put so much of yourself into. I can't comprehend why anyone would do such a horrible thing. I sincerely hope you're able to retrieve them in good condition very soon. Best wishes 🇦🇺
Horrible! Same happened to a Tuber on the West Cost of the US. they stole many smaller trees. The grower, of course, was devastated. So sorry to see this.
Gosh, I am so sorry to hear of this! I hope your trees are returned to you. God does make all things turn to the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
I find it especially terrible that the thieves seem to have ripped the trees from their pots, endangering the health and life of the trees. (It is also very stupid of the thieves.) I hope you get your trees back.
Hi Peter, really sorry to hear this sad news, doesn't surprise me the way the world is going! No damn respect for anything these days! I agree with you about the karma. I will pray for the Safe return of the trees. God bless.
Hello Mr. Chan, this is not the first vid about theft of Bonsai on RUclips. At least twice on your channel and another here in the US on the West Coast. Eastern Leaf Bonsai if memory serves me correct. I must say..."if the thieves are found Prosecute Prosecute Prosecute" !
Shocking news indeed Peter. You’re such a kind and genuine person, that this crime seems even more damaging and callous. I know of someone locally who had a number of large garden railway models taken during a burglary, but the idiot who stole them was foolish enough to put the whole lot up for sale on eBay. Needless to say he was caught and the items weee returned. I hope that you can recover at least your most treasured items. Best wishes.
I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you Mr Chan. I've watched your videos in the past and followed your expert advice. I hope sincerely that the thieves are found.
This is heartbreaking. Our trees are a part of us.😢 One would think the bonsai will be displayed outside. Easier to see you, my dear.👀 The publicity is impressive.
We all your supporters wish you all the luck in the world, the theft is one thing but to yank the out of their pots is sacrilege, these idiots don't care, they see the value in money not in the beauty of the trees I hope they get caught quickly before they move them on.
I hope you will get your trees and the Customer tree back without any damage! Now the trees are very hot and I'm pretty shure the burglar can' t do much with them. The best for them would be, to leave them somewhere not to get cought with them. Thererfore the Chance is not that bad that you will get them back :-)) Fingers crossed that this will happen!
If I find your trees I WOULD want a reward, that is, to shake your hand. These scoundrels will be caught. And they will be prosecuted. You can't think you can rob from Peter Chan and the world won't find out about it. EVERY grower in the U.K. will be watching. I just hope authorities are watching the ports as well. Good luck to you Peter!
well, kharma doesn't have a plan or a consciousness and every action has a consequence even wishing ill will on another is kharma which will ripen on us later.
A pretty specialist thing to take, not like you can go down the pub and sell them for £10. That would lead me to think who has the money for them that would be being asked, and that it would be a stolen to order for a client?
I hope the trees are found and returned to you, my friend, be thankful that you were not harmed as well in this deplorable act. Such a shame. May Christ Jesus continue to bless and protect you.
I feel your pain. My dad had most of his collection stolen when he was away over 20 years ago. They were all native uk trees as he couldn't afford to buy any others.

That's so awful. To take something he'd put so much time into is reprehensible. I'm glad you've still got the Hawthorn as a memento of your dad.
@@DeniseElizabeth-l5e They may not be expensive but their value in terms of your effort and love shown is incalcuble to you I am sure.
A bonsai enthusiast should not buy a stolen tree. A bonsai artist will never even think of doing something like this. I hope the thieves will be caught and the trees will be recovered intact.
So sorry to hear about the burglary. You put your heart and soul into them. Hope you get them back.
Not burglary-- theft.
Peter, the world has become so evil. I’m so sorry to hear this. You’re a wonderful man and didn’t deserve it.
I sure hope the thieves are caught and that all of the stolen trees are returned in good condition. Thank you for the update.
So sorry to hear about this theft.... It's not all about money, it's the emotion and effort put in these trees over decades, that's the real loss.. hope they come up somewhere and the bastards are caught!

My heart id with you. To steal is awful, but to steal something you love is shameful.
Am so sorry to hear of your loss...the trees look stunning & I hope they get returned.
You are an inspiration to me, not only in good but especially during bad times we can see how much of love and hope you share. You are an astonishing human being and I wish you the very best and that your wonderful trees will return. Stay healthy and positive! 🌳🌲💚
Thank you my friend.
@@peterchan3100 You are highly welcome. I am really looking forward to visiting you and your nursery next year in your anniversary with hopefully all woes settled sooner than later.💚 That means a lot to me and in future hopefully to my young son too.
This is a sad commentary on our society today. You are very undeserving of this invasion of your home and business. You a good and kind person.
I’ve been a fan of yours for years and got into bonsai directly as a result of your videos! Godspeed Peter! And best of luck getting Justice!!!
Me too. Mr. Chain’s were the first ones I binge watched that got me into getting into Bonsai.
I'm so sorry this had to happen. I really hope sharp eyed bonsai searchers recognize the trees and get them back

Bonsai trees are like family members. It is heartbreaking not to know if they are well.
Peter, perhaps you have the last tree filmed in one of your walk-throughs? Glad to hear this is getting good publicity and I hope they catch the thieves.

I saw your gallery of bonsais at Wisley in 2013. Great experience! I really hope the trees come back to your nursey. All love from Sweden

Wishing you all the best and hope the Bonsais are returned to the best home in the uk!!
So sad that people are so heartless and do not realize the time that is invested to create beautiful Bonsai. Plus the love we all have for our trees, they’re part of us. I hope you get some of them back.
I too was robbed and lost some trees from my home, very sad society has shrunk to this low.
THX for showing it here too!
Cause:Beside RUclips i dont have FB or Annything else till now / today
thx for ur Work !!!
Greetings from Germany
So sorry for your loss. I pray you get them back. These thieves looked like they knew where to go. They probably have been there before. I hope anyone who sees these guys will report them.
@soniagonzales9144
I noticed that too. There was familiarity that was
unsettling.
I don't know why anyone would target you Peter, your like the most kind hearted person. This just breaks my heart hearing such bad unfortunate news. I truly hope they make their way back home to you. I also feel really bad for the customers tree that got caught up in this horrible situation.

So sorry to hear about that, hope you get back all the trees
Sorry this has happened, Peter. I am encouraged, indeed inspired, by hearing you find positives within the loss.
Peter, I hope you get the trees back. My heart goes out to you as I've been through a burglary myself. Best of luck to you Sir.
I’m sure karma will haunt them forever. The insane amount of hours, passion, love, patience you put into these nature’s wonders is absolutely honorable. I’m not a believer but in this case, I pray that they will be found, because mother Nature knows what you did. Thank you for everything.
The audacity and nonchalance of those thieves is astonishing and sickening. 🤬I hope Karma comes on VERY swift wings, as well as the safe return of the missing trees. Much love ❤️
So very sorry to learn of your loss. Praying for a speedy, and healthy, return of all your trees.
This is so wrong.. I am so so sorry . I pray they get caught and you get your trees back.
Karma! Good luck ! You ' re the best Peter⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trees are precious, people are irreplaceable. Glad you are safe.
So sorry Peter it was a joy meeting you you deserve better hope you get them back
I can't imagine you not locating them. Most anyone willing and able to purchase them from shady kids should know where they came from.
Sir Peter you have my prayers. People these Trees are like very Young Children that that Can’t survive Without Mothers Care. Please find these Trees Police. I hope the Sick Tree that was in Doctor Peter’s Care be found. These Trees need Water and Love
Here in France i am with you Peter, for this loss. I hope you will find healthy trees .

I can’t imagine your pain Peter
I am 12 and I’ve been trying to turn a pine tree into a bonsai tree for 2 years since my old one got stolen which I spent 4 years trying to train .

Sorry to hear about the trees, Peter.
Hope they will be found.
Oh my gosh Peter I’m so sorry so awful. I agree with your sentiment. Bless you and the trees
Sorry for the loss Peter
Sending positive intentions that they will be found and returned to you. So sorry that you’re having to go through this. 🙏🙏🙏
Keep your head up Peter. I am sorry you have to navigate this violation. The thieves will get their penance in time, and I hope your trees find their way back to your sanctuary.

I'm sorry for that Peter. And I hope you will find soon all your beloved trees. Good luck from Spain.

Bonsai is living art! I'm glad you have CCTV of them. I believe in karma too.
As the previous posts I am very sorry to hear this, hope things turn out well and the thieves are caught and your trees retrieved in good order.
Feels weird liking this video, good luck with a swift recovery of your trees Peter
Hi Peter, really sorry to hear this sad news, doesn't surprise me the way the world is going! No damn respect for anything these days!
I agree with you about the karma.
I will pray for the Safe return of the trees.
God bless.
So frustrating, really feel for you. Nothing in this world is sacred anymore. Karma gets us all in the end. 🤞 for a positive outcome.

Terrible that this happened. Hope you’ll get the Bonsai’s back.❤
Sorry to hear about the theft!

Terrible to hear this. I hope justice is served or the people have a change of heart and the trees are returned.
Wow this is terrible haron doesn't deserve this. He is a respectable man and should be treated as such

It’s possible that it’s order to take it. Hope you have it back Mr chan. Take care.
Sending thoughts of recovery and a fair punishment
Best of luck sir. I'm sure you'll get the trees back
Hope you get your trees back peter. So sad.!! Karma is a wonderful thing. ! 😊
well, kharma doesn't have a plan or a consciousness and every action has a consequence even wishing ill will on another is kharma which will ripen on us later.
Hi Peter. So sorry to hear these scum bags have ripped you off. Hopefully the police will find them.
Oh my goodness 😢 how terrible!!! 😮😮😮
Really hope they get caught, and you get the trees back
Praying you get them back.
Such a shame! Hope you get them back.
A pretty specialist thing to take, not like you can go down the pub and sell them for £10. That would lead me to think who has the money for them that would be being asked, and that it would be a stolen to order for a client?
I never saw a dog in one of your videos. Buy two sherman shepherds and every thief will think twice to enter.
Pray to God that you get them back 🙏
Stay strong! ❤
So terrible to watch this and realise the awful, nasty people we live with on this tiny island. So sad 😥
Heartbreaking 😢
Oh, the news is terrible, it’s like a knife in your heart. Especially the Blaw Juniper. I hope the trees can be found.
I hope the trees are found and returned to you, my friend, be thankful that you were not harmed as well in this deplorable act. Such a shame. May Christ Jesus continue to bless and protect you.
