Soil, Missing, Shed


There have been many iconic portrayals of law enforcement on TV over the years: Dragnet’s Joe Friday, Hawaii Five-O’s Steve McGarrett, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Inspired by these heroes, I decided to become a private investigator. For plants.

Two days ago, I responded to a police call I intercepted on my scanner. I rushed out to our local greenhouse: prize tulips had gone missing.

I made my way to Shed 3. During my examination of the pots, including the soil, a member of staff approached. “Are you the police?”

“No sir. Private Plant Detective.”

“Stay there. Security!”
