A crooked logger

[Dougofthenorth]

When I lived on a farm in Alberta in the 70's, my friend had his parent's farm that he only went to on weekends & summer holidays.

Some guys took down 2 very large rare fir trees in front of the house.
They cut off only the 2 tops for xmass trees!
His neighbour called it in & the 2 were caught on the scene & charged with theft, had their truck & equipement seized.
Cost those 2 thiefs a criminal record & a few 10's of thousands in lost truck & equipment. 

I don't know if nowadays it would be the same.
