Christmas trees stolen from boy scouts in New York

Christmas trees stolen from boy scouts in New York [PHOTOS/VIDEO], A New York Christmas-tree seller arranged to replace 60 trees stolen from a Boy Scouts council that was selling the trees as a fundraiser, the council said.

Adams Fairacre Farms, an upscale Hudson Valley food and farm market, donated 40 of its trees to the Boy Scouts of America’s Rip Van Winkle Council and arranged for one of its wholesale florists to donate 20 more, council Executive Director Ray Braun said.

The Boy Scouts’ trees were stolen from a suburban Kingston, N.Y., parking lot not far from one of Adams’ stores. Go here to read more and see the photos and video.
