This is just sad and a dick move

Terribly unfunny, and a total waste of time, money, and effort for nothing. Plus it would've required a whole squad to uproot 60 trees in one night.

The only way I'm excusing this is if the city planted those semen trees

The trees were a variety of species and were meant to replace a large swath of ash trees that were professionally removed earlier this year, Zumach said. The saplings stood about five to seven feet tall and weighed up to 30 pounds.

Poor trees :(

That's a lot of work just to kill or steal some trees.
