You better watch out….you better not pout…..you better not steal Christmas trees in Connecticut!
The measure of damages for anyone who cuts (without permission), destroys, or carries away any tree intended for sale or use as a Christmas tree is five times the reasonable value of the tree. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 52-560.
Happy Christmas to you!
