what's left of the tree
Tree thieves finish the job
Originally uploaded by squarejer.

When I got home today I saw the tree thieves had returned and finished the job. Only this time we have their license plate number!

Our landlord, Peter, had already gone to the police station, and he said they weren’t too concerned. No one was hurt.

I gave him the license plate number I’d taken, and I’m curious to see if it makes any difference.

Now that there is nothing left to steal from our trees I suppose this thing is over. Since we rent, replacing these trees is happily not my job. And Peter installed a motion sensitive light for the driveway, so there is a little silver lining in it for us.
