Awhile back I did a double date with the guy I was dating then and some friends. Went to a *cough* unowned bit of land, cut down a couple trees, strapped them down in the friends' pickup truck, took them home. . .except we didn't strap them both down equally well, and one slid out from under the straps. Turns out a small sitka spruce turns into kindling when it hits the road at 60-65 mph. Luckily no one was behind us, that could have been very bad.
Wound up getting another one later, and that time there were no mishaps.
LESSON BEING: make sure your tree is secure when you take it home! Very, very secure.
