When he got home from work, the tree was gone. The tree was removed by city workers.
So, he planted another tree. But this time he put some lights on it.

"As many times as I went to ask to get it done and nothing's been done about it. And as soon as I make a TikTok and put it on their web page with a tree in it, within 24 hours they had a crew out here fixing it," Anderson told the local news station.
