Guess the crime

Here’s an icon from an online map of local criminality. Can you guess the crime?

[The answer’s in the comments.]

Either public urination or watering your plants when there is some sort of water shortage and thus prohibition against watering your lawn.

Good guesses, but it’s something else. Stay tuned; I’ll post the answer tomorrow.

Car deodorant defenestration?

Bardiac said...

Illegal picnicking?

No, actually, I'd guess something more like tree-spiking in lumbering areas.

Hobo code!

Nest robbery.

My guess is: tree-on-tree violence.
You know-- the limbs are thrashing around, slicing leaves off the neighbors' branches; and then there is letting a big dead branch fall onto your neighbor's head... not to mention the secretion of toxic agents to kill competing plant growth.

Thanks, everyone, for wonderful suggestions. This icon means — I’m not kidding — possession of cannabis, although pot, like money, doesn’t grow on trees.
