    Family busted for ‘trying to steal $300 in apples from orchard in car trunk’

    A family-owned orchard has gone viral for exposing customers who allegedly tried to make off with their car trunk full of $300 worth of apples.

    Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala, Ohio, shared a photo of a car with the trunk door open, revealing hundreds of yellow apples and a person holding one while looking out from the backseat. The individual’s face was concealed with a confused face emoji.

    ‘If you fill your bag but can’t stop picking our delicious apples, don’t be shy! Come talk to our greeters and ask for more bags,’ wrote the business on a Facebook post on September 1.

    ‘Hiding $300 of apples around your spare tire, under your kids, in your glove box, and under your seat is not the way to handle it!’

    The business claimed there were four incidents of the kind on the same day, prompting them to take additional measures.

    ‘We will be having undercover security in the orchard the rest of the season,’ states the post.

    ‘If you see suspicious activity please report to our greeters or checkout team.’

    The post has since received more than two million views, 6,000 reactions and more than 500 comments.

    ‘One bad apple!’ a Facebook user remarked.

    Another wrote: ‘I hope you guys share their names and license plate numbers with all the other orchards in the area. These people should be universally blacklisted.’

    But some social media users criticised the orchard for only including a picture of one of the four alleged offenders, and cropping out an individual.

    ‘The other 3 cases were not shared due them each being much more minor. Each were around $25 of hidden apples,’ responded the orchard.

    ‘The “white woman” that was cropped out of our photo is a fantastic employee of ours that was helping bag the hidden apples. Once we saw people confusing her as the customer we cropped her out as we should have done in the first place.’
