Are there any updates on this tree as of yet?

tree has been "returned" - minus the pot which was first found broken in the parking lot...

Hot damn! Just ant believe would happen. Had a few of my Japanese Maples get stolen over the summer, I really think who ever took them thought they were pot... dumb people out there haha. Glad it found it's way home....

Hope the tree was OK. Probably a good pot broken too bad. Sounds like they/he/she got spooked by security?

 If that's the case it does not speak highly of the security system; must be run by the Clintons.
