Did you ever find out why the place was deserted? Sounds like the place very abruptly closed for some reason, or maybe the owner didn't pay the employees and they all left.

No. As I wrote in my post, we never discovered why no one was there. That's why the whole experience was so weird. And if I remember correctly, I think my boyfriend even had a scheduled time with the tree lot guy. The guy had told him to come after 8 p.m. or something, and then we show up and no one's there. That's partially why we felt empowered to steal the tree. We figured we were told to be there at a specific time and if they couldn't hold up their end of the bargain, we might as well get what we came for anyway. That certainly wasn't our normal, but the whole situation was so weird, that's what happened.
