A giant 800-year-old red cedar tree has been poached from a provincial park on southern Vancouver Island, but the culprits who repeatedly returned to the site to hack it down may never be brought to justice.

    Even if there are no rangers in the park that park is still a popular park, I'm surprised no one saw anyone. I suppose it's possible for someone to go in the middle of the night and cut it down, but that's one big tree for a small group to move out of the park.

    Cedar roof? You know how many guitar tops you could plane out of a tree that size? It'd be worth THOUSANDS of dollars to a luthier.

    When a tree falls in a forest, and no animal is near by to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Given the elaborate precautions these asswipes went through to get jack this tree it'd be my guess that they have a buyer already lined up with his own milling equipment so that nobody would ever be the wiser.

    So as to what it's gonna be used for could be anyones guess. It's just to bad that lumber mills aren't like metal scrapyards where they have to record every purchase made.
