Stolen neighborhood Christmas tree may have been found

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A would-be Christmas Grinch may have not ruined plans for a holiday celebration in one Houston neighborhood after all.

Neighbors in Montrose's Hyde Park say their neighborhood Christmas tree suddenly disappeared just before neighbors were about to decorate.

But hours after Eyewitness News aired the story on Monday afternoon, residents say they were contacted by the person who took the tree that was located on the corner of Waugh and Hyde Park. That called claimed to have just been watching over it and plans on giving it back.

The 10-foot tree, which was valued at about $150, was donated by Greek restaurant Niko Niko's. The eatery already had already donated a second tree.
