it's a horrid feeling, having your space violated - and even if it's just a tree, it's a tree that you put time/effort/money into getting and decorating. hope those jerks get what's coming to them v. v. soon!

is there anyway you can light something else in your garden? maybe string lights in a bare tree already planted there, or along the house or something; something that would be festive, but much harder for morons to steal.
