Who's Tearing Down Trees in Lafayette?

Trees lining First Street in Lafayette look like they've had their branches ripped down by someone (or something?). Do you know what happened?

Gorilla? Big birds? Errant driver? A series of nine trees lining First Street along the back of Lafayette Elementary were looking a little the worse for wear Monday morning -- and no one knew how it happened.

UPDATE: Part of the mystery has been solved by Lafayette Police Chief Eric Christenen, who says that someone seems to have broken the branches off. A vandalism report has been filed, but there are no suspects and no leads.
