    A woman was left gobsmacked after robbers chopped down and nicked a Christmas tree from her back garden in the dead of night. <\/p>\n

    Sarah Yardley, 40, got a weird text from pals leaving her Christmas bash on Friday night (December 15) after they'd spotted someone hopping over her fence with half a tree. <\/p>\n

    The Christmas tree was in Sarah's back garden, next to her house, which is surrounded by a five-foot-tall stone wall with a gate in the middle. Sarah, from Wadebridge, Cornwall, said: "What a funny set of experiences.<\/p>\n

    "My friends were leaving the party, and saw someone jumping over the back stone wall of my garden – hailing away one of my Christmas looking trees. Someone sawed down the top half of one of the fir trees.<\/p>\n

    "They texted me but I didn't see the message for over an hour afterwards."At that point it was 11pm – I had a large group of guests over and thought 'Oh gosh, as much as I'm quite confused', it was so late.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    "My friends didn't chase them down; fair enough as they left a dark house with a two year old and baby in tow, but it left me wondering: why? I investigated the next morning and was like, 'Ohh they came into my garden, chopped down one of my trees and hailed it away! What an endeavor."<\/p>\n

    Sarah hasn't alerted the police about the incident yet, as she doesn't know who nicked the tree and there's no CCTV to help identify them. She said :"The only motive that I could think of is someone couldn't afford a Christmas tree – that must be the reason?" she said pondering on why they might've done it.<\/p>\n

    "If they had only asked, I would have been glad to share.". <\/p>\n

    Despite this pesky situation, Sarah is chuffed with the support of her mates and the community. Raised in Orange County, California, Sarah always tries to see the best in things.<\/p>\n
