Thief who stole tree from front garden probably didn't get what he was expecting

Loretta Johnson from Kransburg Ranch in Cypress, Texas, was surprised when a young man stole a tree from her front garden.



He pulled it from the ground and he's captured on tape making a dash for it with the young wisteria. She believes it was stolen because the thief mistook it for a marijuana plant.

"I think he thinks it was a marijuana plant ... In the front yard? I would put it right there by the streets so security and police and everybody can see this right," said Johnson.

Johnson was able to catch the tree thief in action because she's had multiple cameras installed because of crime around her home.
