      In my day steeling Christmas trees was a hanging offense, I often woke up in the middle of dark nights after dreaming that I was walking to the gallows for my crimes of stealing Christmas trees, we never bought a Christmas tree when we were young, we did not have the money

    Nobody expects the Christmas tree police to use the tactic of surprise. Surprise and receipt verification are the two primary tactics used by these brave guardians of the green. Surprise, receipt verification and varied timing are all part and parcel of the tactics of those brave men on tree patrol who stay awake at night protecting local yuletide flora.

      😂 Nobody expects the Christmas tree police! Amongst our weaponry are such elements as surprise, receipt varification and varied timing.

    Cutting down, stealing and selling Christmas trees is what I did when I was a young lad followed by finding a suitable potato, fitting it with a small chicken feathers, placing it in a jam jar, and covering with some Hollie then going from house to house telling this story and singing this song sing The wren, the wren, the King of all birds, St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze.So up with the kettle and down with the pan, and give us a penny to bury the wren. I did it all for the money so i could eat some food

    After graduating police academy with the sound effects guy, I went into deep cover against the tree poachers, but after mistakenly creating some camouflage ghillie suit underwear from poison ivy I had to quit. I was awarded the iron cross with oak leaves.
