If it were me, I would put up the trees, and surround them with some chicken wire. That should hopefully deter any would be vandals.

I would also report this to your homeowners association if you have one, and knock on every neighbor's doors, informing them that you have installed surveilance (sp) equiment to watch of for vandals.

I would think chances are, its either a disgruntled neighbor who is jealous, or a lil punk kid thinking its fun to destroy anothers property. either way, when you catch em, you can probably take legal action for destruction of personal property.

Good luck and keep us posted.
