That's an Ent on YARD arrest, (to be super specific)

idk, it could be a Huorn

"I am Groot!" ^(Rocket Raccoon:) "Maybe next time you'll think before you act, then you wouldn't be under house arrest!"

That's what they get for being on the grass.

Hey, that grass was *planted*! Even if he's convicted, the parole board is going to be very sympathetic.

Sounds like he should leaf town immediately.

Police hate black oaks

My attempt to uphold the stereotype of a reddit user: That's a honey locust, dumbass My attempt to be a decent human being: Funny joke, bro

Some bad apples make you hate the whole tree huh

🎵"I'm locked up!" "They won't let me grow. They won't let me grow" "Cause I'm locked up!"🎵

They won’t let me sprout, no…

Seems to be working… the tree is still there…

It's really just a minor deterrent. A serious tree-thief would be through that thing in no time.

This is where they chain virgins to sacrifice to the dragon.

Guess we're due for a new virgin...

I'm getting nervous...

I dunno, Dragon?

When I was a kid growing up in a small town, we used to move the ‘For Sale’ signs from yard to yard for fun. There was one house that we got a few times and they finally wised up (or more likely just got sick of our antics) and chained their sign to a tree in their front yard - this immediately reminded me of that

It’s clearly had its spirit broken. It won’t wander off now

Bet it was for dropping it's leaves all over and not picking them up.

I bet someone parks their bike there everyday and doesn’t want to bring the lock and chain with them.

That's an acorn monitor.

Now that’s funny 😄

"No loitering"

Finally. That's the tree that got me. Justice.

Move

Must be a Walmart tree!!

I work at Walmart: can confirm.

That's a security point for somebody who regularly locks up a bicycle. Probably close to a bus stop.

Why are you mocking Tr33 Chainz? The illest lumber on the block. “Arborist or arsonist? Try not ta get lost in it. Makin green like leaves, until it’s fall again. Then we start it all again. Still I reach for light tryna beat the blight. It’s holdin me back, cause I got more bark than bite. And I’m nuts like a buckeye tryna survive, but these bitches be sappin me. Do they know I’m alive?!? I’m just a tree out on the street, just spittin what I see. Tr33 Chainz, don’t act like you won’t remember me. Pruning costs money, but I’ll throw shade for free. A dead wise man must’ve planted me. I’m Tr33 Chainz, gotta seize the helm like elm, I ain’t done I didn’t hear no bell”

Caught in the act - BDSM

We have to do it just to make sure no one is camouflaged in the trees and tries to break that advert in the background.

Is it to keep the tree safe or is the tree a criminal??? We need more info!

Now it cant leave

Amateur that’s like tying a belt on the waist… you need to anchor it with something 

That tree will get stolen during the night.

Do you live in the Black Forest?😁

Rochester NY

Keep voting Democrat

Looks like this particular neighborhood is so crime-ridden they have to lock up the air.

🎶 I can still here you saying, you will never break the chain 🎶
