How do you get the lamest street-cred ever? You steal plants from an elementary school’s educational vegetable garden.

The Smith Renaissance School of the Arts, located in northeast Denver, got plant-burgled recently, but is rising above it.

Two weeks ago, on a Friday, the students planted the seedlings and others that were donated. The following Monday, the plants were gone.

“One student wondered if it was a clever rabbit,” said Lindsay McNicholas, the school’s resource advocate. “It was deflating. We had just planted them. We didnt even make it 72 hours.”
