Geez, Willow, quit ya whinging! From the above pic. looks like you've got plenty to share!
Hold on, just trying to get a bit of a smile. I thinks that is so down right dasterdly for someone to do that. Talk about feeling violated. Pretty brazen too.
Are the laws the same for that kind of theft as well as damage as it ids for breaking and entering? I think it should be. Not sure about over there but those are pretty expensive trees also.
What do they do with them ya think; plant em or sell em? A good thought for the future might be to some how mark the tree to make it more identifyable. My American thought, and NO it involves NO shooting (we ARE NOT all that violent geez!
).
Dig a huge bear-trap, and put alot of those wicked sharp pointed sticks in the bottom. Fill the bottom with a gallon or two of gas. As these nasty blokes fall in, they'll scream in pain, dropping their cigs into the gas. You and busman can quickly cover up their singed bodies to avoid any potential legal ramifications.
Just a more peaceful thought from America
!
Boy that really has me angry for you Willow. There has to be something for all of you guys to prevent this. I truly hope a serious solution can be found!
