How many folks does it take to move an 11' tree?

Apparently more than 6...  So I spent the last 3 1/2 hours this morning watching these folks trying to move one of the trees across the street where the last houses here are being built...  The poor tree is on life support after these Do-it-yourself landscaper wannabes manhandled, ripped, pulled, and shredded this poor tree to its last limbs....

After 2 hours of digging and pulling with their suv they got the tree out of the ground and onto their mini-trailer:

The tree was in the hole in front of the foundation by the white barrel:

Then they tied some sheets together to try to cover the tree up...

"The sheet don't fit.... go get me another sheet!"

Oh hey!  lets use pink hair spray to make a sign on the back of the sheet so people don't hit us...  Umm... What should it say???  "Caution" perhaps?   OK... C-A-T-... Umm how do you spell it?   Why did you write some scribbles and then "Cat?"   Isn't that how you spell it???   ::Sigh::  You're and idiot....

Uh oh... the tree is starting to fall off the trailer... go get another sheet....

Meanwhile daughter #2 has died in the back of the SUV from heat exhaustion while the other 5 try to figure out how to get the 4th bedsheet attached to the tree to hold it down...

"Dude, this is really ghetto, even for us..."

"Seriously Dad... this is the worst vacation ever..."

So after 3+ hours they drove off with bits of the tree being ripped off on the asphalt as they disappeared.... R.I.P. tree...
