Why?

 

[ABM]

Why?

You admire her? I'm sure you're joking, but still.

What is it with all the 'figures, figures, figures' after all my posts? You on the rag?

Hmm...

She managed to "escape cameras", and the owner who "runs the charity" is impressed...

I smell an inside job to skim some money for trees by the owner of the lot for Xmas presents. I imagine whoever donated the trees accounts for every single one of them, or at the very least, it's a way to skim money without having to claim the trees on a tax exemption if the "owner of the charity" purchased the trees.

Very odd that the article doesn't even give the name of the 'head of the charity', too.

You'd be a good cop.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Yeah, something is not right there. It is not as if someone can just sneak away with a tree since it is tied to the top of a car and are usually cut via chainsaw before leaving the lot.

No, I am just extremely cynical on things that lie outside of the norm in terms of how it could happen.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I bet she spent most of her time working as part of a union! :MARIS61:

 

[Haakzilla]

...WTF, where was this, the biggest xmas tree lot in the world? I could see a few trees maybe, but to sell 9 trees incognito to everyone -- I call bullshit!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I told my wife if she sneaked onto a tree lot, sold a couple of trees and pocketed the cash she would be more attractive as a mysterious woman. That led to a 3 minute lecture. I might as well have been talking to ABM.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hopefully they find her and make her pay every cent owed to the charity, as well as give her community service at that charity. Disgraceful

yeah, they named it in the video..local non profit..

sounds like some crack head took advantage of the situation, nine trees at twenty bucks each..and when the sign posted shows the prices to be much higher, well, you can blame those that purchased these trees as well as the gal that sold them
