Bonsai Stolen from the Safari Park Bonsai Pavilion

UPDATE:  January 2020.  The trees have been returned!
The former curator of the Bonsai Pavillion reports hearing something at his front door. When he went to investigate, he found the two trees sitting there. They have been "modified" and are in poor shape. Apparently someone kept the trees for four years and then had a change of heart.

Two bonsai, a Chinese elm and a foemina juniper, were stolen at different times from the Bonsai Pavilion at San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, California in 2016.

Though our absence may be long.
