On a Sunday when I was about 5 my Granda and I would go out walking and I would pick flowers to take back to my gran. After a while my Granda told me that the police had placed tiny cameras in the flowers, they would beam back the picture of the person picking the flowers and they'd be arrested for stealing. I've never picked another flower since!
