Fir Cryin' Out Loud

Christmas Tree Thieves Are Out-Foxed

In order to hinder Christmas tree thieves, officials at the University of Nebraska are spraying the evergreens with a smelly mixture containing fox urine. According to a report on wtkr.com, landscape services manager Kirby Baird says the trees don't smell in the cool outdoor temperatures. But if the tree is cut down and brought inside, the fox urine starts stinking up the place. Tree-napping can be an expensive problem for the school. It costs up to $400 to replace a six-foot evergreen.
