The paving slabs don't look in good condition.
They must have been stolen to order to fit an existing garden/drive."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
I know Storrington. Most of it is rough as old nails.
It does look like a nick to order of 'aged' slabs.Comment

We get a lot of this over neck of the woods but not to that scale. Isn't unheard of for someone to put a post on the local community facebook site that 4 or 5 slabs have been removed from their path. Same general consensus is they are taken to fit a job, probably to replace a load that got stolen'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

In my old childhood neck of the woods manhole covers are frequently nicked and the metal sold as scrap. Always makes an interesting drive when going back to see my Mom and suddenly there's a gaping hole in the road!!I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

I planted a small row of laurels on my boundary last spring, against a quiet country road. Maybe 6 2' plants which cost me about £3 each. The next morning, some bugger had pulled them all up.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

If they were just pulled up then maybe some rustic type objected to a plant whose leaves are toxic - Just one or two leaves contain enough cyanide to kill a horse!
Ditto privet and yew, and in fact any of this lot : Plants Toxic to Horses
It's a wonder any of the brutes manage to survive!
