The mystery of two missing community Christmas trees in San Clemente, California, has been solved.

Residents of the coastal city were baffled—and the organizer heartbroken—after the first of two holiday plants went missing from its perch Dec. 8. The tree had been a longstanding tradition led by Deborah Sheldrake-Stetson, who encouraged others to help decorate it.
