If more thieves thought this was a high probability I'm pretty sure that crime rates would drop substantially.

Driver gets $553 ticket after driving for miles with snow covering windshield
Washington State authorities handed out a $553 ticket to a driver who traveled more than 5 miles with the windshield almost completely covered in snow.www.kitsapsun.com
We usually have a fake tree. And she has to replace it every year because of the cats climbing into it and bending the branches down. But this year she only has a 4' tree and the branches are smaller and closer together. So maybe there is hope that the fucking cats stay out of this one.
I'm imagining the driver getting into and starting that car with the snow and ice covered windshield, turing on the wipers (which of course don't move, being covered by snow and ice), and saying "aww, screw it" and driving five miles blind.

I'm a bit like @Salmo_g when it comes to recidivism (I'm not saying this driver was a repeat criminal, but...) but I don't think the ticket was sufficient for this kind of stupidity - this kind of crime. I commuted on SR-16 from (if you will) Belfair to the submarine base for seven years. The road between Gorst and the junction towards Silverdale is narrow, winding and very busy. It's lucky there wasn't a collision. Handcuffs, a night in jail and his/her car impounded sounds a bit more like crime and punishment (yes, I did enjoy that book).

They won't.
We usually get a live tree. Every year, one of our cats would eat a bunch of the needles and puke them up. He never learned even though throwing them back up must not have been pleasant. He lived for 16 years and never gave up the habit.

I have to use a fake tree. Two of the Granddaughters are allergic to the pine needles. Hell I couldn't even get them to mow my yard because of it.
Another reason to not like beavers.
Our dog pissed on our tree as a pup. I have to say I kind of understand how he was confused. He probably thought it was his Xmas present--"oh boy, now I don't have to go out in the cold to do my business!"
When we lived in the Yukon and the kids were small we made a day of packing a lunch and hot drinks and going off to murder a tree. We found a really nice shaped spruce so I took the swede saw to it and tied it to the roof of the jeep and brought it home.
The next day I brought it into the house and put it in the tree stand to thaw out. It was likely about zero Fahrenheit.
As we decorated it and the tree got warmed up we couldn't help noticing that it stunk! I don't know what, wolves, foxes, lynx... something must have been using this tree as a cornerpost for their territory. The tree went out the door and we got to repeat the hunt one more time.

Aint that the truth. Be you own self, and be avoided for reasons of your choosing !!!!!
