I believe the punctuation is not well here. 2 commas too many. :-)
May I put it that way so that it would look more "digestible"?

"Russian datchnik contrived how to protect his tomatoes from theft"

> And he wrote on his fence this announcement:

"He posted the following announcement on his fence:"

> "One of my tomatoes is poisoned!"

> Next day he sees an addition: "Now there are two".

"Next day he saw a line was added"

All in all, seems like a true story though. :-)
