The Ann Arbor (Michigan) News reported that a second 45ft. spruce was lopped off at the U of M Nichols Arboretum. Seems the perp(s) climbed up the tree in order to cut off the top 7 to 8 feet. One site had several smaller pines around the larger one, but the midnight tree-bandits wanted the top of the Serbian spruce instead.
What idiots. Sounds like a bunch of frat-boys from Poppa-Kappa-Acid out to adorn their frat-rat-row castle.
Here’s to hoping Santa stuffs that tree where the tinsel won’t glisten.
(I would’ve linked to a story over at M-Live.com, but they insist on asking for your zip code and year of birth in order to access the info and to “better serve you…”)
