The planter posts were a recent purchase, according to YouTube user Crystal Barrett. Apparently pots were so lovely that they caught the attention of a would-be thief who appeared to want them for her own collection.

"Woman receives instant karma after trying to steal the pot by face planting not once but twice," wrote Barrett.
