New neighbor cuts down most branches on homeowner's tree while they're away on vacation and shows no remorse: ‘This tree will never again be what it once was’

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Remember that one gargantuan tree from your childhood that you'd sit under while reading one of your favorite novels? Its leaves would change with the seasons, transforming themselves from a welcoming green to a vibrant crimson and, eventually, a soft brown to signify the end of one season and the beginning of another. Its bark felt rough against the middle of your back, and there were one too many spiders lingering in its branches, but if you could go back and sit under that same tree once more, you would do so in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, you can't. The new next-door neighbor actually cut it down last week while your parents were on vacation! Well, the new neighbors featured in this next story didn't cut down your parents' tree, but they probably would. They cut down this woman's tree while she was away on vacation, so likely nobody's tree is safe. You'll see in the photos below that the once branch-filled trunk is now nearly barren, and the woman explains that part of the reason she had closed on her home years ago was because of this tree. The best part? The neighbor has no remorse. Scroll to read.
