Interesting how many people tried to stop the fellow with the axe, but apparently nobody called the police. I am quite sure that among all of the bystanders, one of them had a cell phone. The other interesting thing is that the person who stole the bike is not the same one who chopped down the tree.

In some communities it takes alot less.

June 14, 2011 5:32 pm at 5:32 pm #777365I can only tryMemberI think that I shall never see
Something as ugly as that tree
Since I saw no official warden
I went and made like Lizzie Borden
With my mighty gleaming ax
I felled that tree with several whacks
Now I no longer need to hike
Thanks to my liberated bike
If using my ax breaks the law
Think President George W.

True, but 2 blocks in the wrong direction. Kensington is a very hard to define nabe. Some blocks see nothing, others see everything.
Had this happened on E. 4th and Ave F, you’d have had more calls to Shomrim than the ax man could deliver chops to the tree.

June 16, 2011 5:24 pm at 5:24 pm #777372HIEParticipantIt’s so funny I go to Torah V’dass and didn’t hear about it till two days later. The Torah vdos block and surrounding blocks are pretty good but if you go more then a couple blocks, it’s scary.

Serious answer:
(This being New York, no one even questioned me. True to Murphy’s law, the keys turned up shortly after the locks were cut – in one case, within minutes.)

It isn’t racist at all – that’s a southern accent.
(C’mon you should know me better than that.)
June 16, 2011 5:49 pm at 5:49 pm #777376Pac-ManMemberSo you’re anti-southern icot?
Why is makin’ fun of ’em southerners accent different than makin’ of ’em black folks accent?

Who said I’m anti-southern?
Some of my best friends are penguins.
June 16, 2011 6:16 pm at 6:16 pm #777378aries2756ParticipantThese trees are considered City property so when they find the thief it won’t be a matter of just stealing some kid’s bike there will be serious consequences.

Former Parks Comissioner Henry Stern was very makpid about his trees’ welfare, to the extent that he had large fines given to people who locked their bikes to trees.
