Operation Tree Drop

12/24/09


So one of Oscar's friends was the brunt of practical joke on Christmas Eve. This group of friends are always doing things to each other, I don't think boys really fully grow up. Watching them prepare for this stunt was like watching school boys. *smile*

It all started with Jason and Dave texting Oscar and saying they needed some assistance, from there it just blossomed. The Salvation Army was giving away the last of their trees so they got a trailer and went and loaded up what they had, 23 trees.






Then they went back to Daves and drilled holes in the bottom of them, and then put rebar in them so they would stand up. Then they waited until close to midnight Christmas Eve to go out.






On their way there they stopped and all got into one vehicle (five of them, Jason, Dave, Oscar, Kip and Derek) while doing this a cop passes them. Oscar didn't have tail lights on the trailer. The copy doesn't stop them so they pull out behind the him and drive to their friends house. They were all giggling like little school girls but had all the trees off the truck and stuck in his yard in less than 1 minute. They hopped back in the truck and took off. However while they were putting the trees in the yard a neighbor had come out, after they left he called their friend and told him what happened. The friend ends up calling the cops (same cop by the way that had passed Oscar just a little bit ago) and they come out to make a report.

Meanwhile Oscar and his friends are still giggling and changing vehicles and are getting ready to go back and take some pictures.


Their friend instead of seeing the humor is furious and states to the cop he is not paying to have the trees removed. The reason he was chosen for the tree prank was because he didn't have a truck to take them anywhere. So the cop arranges for the garbage company to come take them off his hands in a couple of days.


So the cop has now left and Oscar and his friends come rolling back into the neighborhood to take some pictures. hahahahahaha they missed all the drama by just a few minutes.


Here is what his yard looked like in daylight all 23 trees in the front yard.



So how do we know all this? Well it took a good week before Oscar and his friends even approached their other friend, apparently he had no idea who did it. So after some teasing and explaining everyone now has the full story and they are still planning their next big one. *smile* Their friend stated very boldly "You have awoken the Sleeping Giant" Way too funny!!!
