This was a bit of a shock to me.

My son says they must have done it yesterday during the day, but when I got home last night, it was dark, and there were cars parked on the street, so I didn't see it. I did notice a strong scent of lavender in the air, but I didn't investigate.

This morning, as I backed out of the drive on my way to an appointment, I had my first glimpse of the devastation.

When I returned, I had to spend 20 minutes or so cleaning it up off the parking strip.

The last time one of my lavender bushes was pruned this vigorously, it did not survive the winter.

 I hope this one fares better.
