This post is in response to an article from: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2009/12/07/Police-Stolen-tree-balanced-on-bike/UPI-48651260205679/
It would be a crime not to share this story with the biking community. Police in Portage, Indiana recently arrested a man for stealing a Christmas tree. The story would normally stop here, but the man attempted to flee the farm on his bike. Police encountered the man riding an electric bicycle with no lights and a tree balancing upon his handle bars. I must admit, I admire the man’s dedication, but balancing a Douglas Fir, off the handle bars, at 1 in the morning seems a little dangerous. The individual tried to claim he obtained the $40 tree from his local pub, and not from the farm where the price tag indicated. The police returned the tree to the farm, and charged the man with theft and public intoxication. Nothing shows your holiday spirit more than strapping a tree on your bike and recklessly swerving down the highway.
