A trail of evergreen needles was all police needed to solve the case of a pine tree purloined from the front yard of a Winnipeg home. Two days before Christmas, the homeowner complained to police that someone had cut down and taken a pine tree from his yard. Officers went to the home Tuesday and were able to track a trail of needles to another house in the neighbourhood.
