The issue may seem trivial, but it holds lessons for us all reminding us of the cavalier way in which we treat and use public infrastructure. Tucked away in the pages of this newspaper, a report highlighted how a duo has been caught for stealing a manmade butterfly that was installed on a tree in the new footpath garden at Thane.

The report elaborated that stealing an artificial butterfly from a garden to decorate one of their houses, has landed the duo behind bars. The two young men from Thane were taking selfies with the butterfly when it broke free from a tree. Unable to fix it, one of them took it home.
