Whatever happened to Scrumping?

I was reflecting as I saddled up for my cycle to work today that times have definitely changed. And the reason behind my musings?  Hanging over our wall giving onto the back lane was a clump of delicious looking conference pears which no one has scrumped (yet).  I admit to helping myself to the odd illicit apple from the Brown’s garden during my childhood, although as my brothers and I went to school with their children, I don’t think they minded. Anyway, because no one has taken our fruit, there will be more for us to eat or give away!
