How much do you think it would cost to replace just one of the giant oak trees that were cut down??? Replacement costs alone could easily exceed $40,000. But to be a felony, the damage only needs to be $1,000 or more. I would suggest you read up on your law before equating this crime with a minor traffic offense.
