Somebody stole a ton of the Organ Pipe Cactus before we moved in. We noticed some laying on the driveway a few weeks ago and wondered what had hap'd... then our neighbor told us that she saw a truck there in the middle of the night and that they are worth money. If you cut the cactus and let it sit for 2 weeks you can re-plant them and they will root. She said they just sold some for $500.. We rescued two so far and have about 6 more to pick up off the ground and re-plant
