I only like the fake homeowner and tree removal idea IF
A:
1. The tree has to be dead, dangerous, and really difficult to remove.
2. The real homeowner needs to be some poor SOB that really needs the job done.
OR B:
It needs to be a really grand tree that belongs to your ex-wife's divorce lawyer (or some other lawyer that done you wrong). Call him (anonymously) when the tree is about 3/4ths cut down.
