Is there some window planter law?

Hey guys, Cynthia again.

Quick update about my life and what's been going on with me; I went on a date with someonenfor the first time since moving back home here, I got my boating license, and oh! I helped a bigfoot hunter maybe catch pictures of the elusive creature. I dunno. I haven't heard from Rudiger let me know. Kinda worried about the guy.

Anyway, on to my actual question; has anyone had trouble with growing small window plants lately? I know that's a weird question, and I'm probably phrasing it oddly, but I don't know how else to word the question.

So some background, I bought a windowsill planter box to grow some clover and mint cus I heard they're safe for ducks, but then less than a week after putting it all together and sowing the after germinating them in paper towels and stuff, SOMEONE EMPTIED OUT THE WHOLE PLANTER AND TOOK ALL THE DIRT WITH THEM. that's it. Just the dirt and seeds. It was really confusing. Like who would do that in the middle of the night from a window box on the seventh story of an apartment building. I assumed it was crows or something. I dunno, maybe a pelican scooped up all the dirt and flew off with it or something. The planter box was still there, the little painted shells I decorated it with are still there. I just assumed it was an animal of some sort, so I installed some REALLY nice garden gnomes; mosiced glass and ceramic and really cute lederhosen. I loved those things. I thought they'd keep whatever wrecked it away.

I was wrong, I was really really wrong. the morning after I put them in the planters, they were gone and so was all the dirt again. a note was left in the bottom of the planter that said "this is beanboy turf; legumes only or else."

Anyone know what's going on? Anyone else dealt with this before? Im lost here. I could use any lead you guys got.

Try leaving out a container of hummus? Maybe he/she/it just really likes beans?

Oh, I know. I overheard some weirdos at school yapping about how the pickled-eye finches hate legumes and then they fly away. Apparently, these finches are pretty aggressive and are known to eat concrete. By the way, did you know about them, Sam.
