Police forces in cities around the country are reporting an increase in Christmas tree theft that is believed to be spurred by the economic downturn, CNN Money is reporting.
This could inspire a new version of traditional Christmas carol:

These really are hard times
I can’t afford to purchase you
So I’ll sneak you out the store.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
These really are hard times
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
The cops are knocking loudly
They heard about my theft of you
From my loud-mouthed ex-bookie
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
The cops are knocking loudly
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
I’m sitting in the hoosegow
With a 6-foot-6 longshoreman
Who thinks I am his “Blankey”
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
I’m sitting in the hoosegow
