INDIANAPOLIS — A Broad Ripple woman says an unknown tree trimmer who trimmed her trees may have killed them - and left her feeling violated.
Betsy Alt has been worried about her dying Colorado Spruce Trees.
Alt hired an arborist to come and take a look, but before he could get to it, someone unknown did a hack job cutting the branches illegally and leaving a mess behind.
Before Alt's arborist could come out to see if her trees could be saved, she received a notification from her Next Door app.
"It was someone thanking whomever for having trimmed the lower branches off, to make the vision towards West Kessler better and safer," Alt said.
"Apparently someone came and cut down the lowest hanging branches."
Alt is now upset because her arborist had a plan to save the trees. ALt says that she has had neighbors reach out saying the trees weren't an obstruction or turning on to Kessler.
"It really made me just cry and I felt violated," she said.
Now Alt is concerned there's someone in the neighborhood who thinks they can do this type of work without asking for permissions. Someone, who she says, lacks empathy.
"Try to put yourself in that person’s shoes and just imagine if they came onto your property and cut down your tree, or repainted your siding," she said.
RTV6 reached out to the city and IPL to see if it was possible they did the tree trimming. Spokespeople for both groups said it was not them.
