Question

Read the following passage, a sign posted on a neighborhood street:

Attention neighbors: We are so proud of our garden this
year, and it seems you all enjoy it too! Lately we have
noticed that many of the fruits and vegetables we are
growing have gone missing before we have had the
chance to harvest them. We are thrilled you seem to love
them so much! You'll have to let us know how they taste,
as we have not yet been able to sample any ourselves. Or
we can help you set up your own gardens so you don't
have to inconvenience yourselves by coming all the way to
our house to get your delicious fruits and vegetables!
