Strange case of the lighted memorial wreath

 If you drive along Allegheny River Blvd  in Pittsburgh Larimer  section  there is a now deteriorating memorial to a gentleman who suffered a heart attack and died a horrific death when he slammed into a tree and car caught fire 

I remember it well it was a hot summer day when I passed by workers recovering the the burnt up car.

Afterwards for several years the family members built and maintained a good sized memorial to him and passed them several times when they where working on it. 

Then for Christmas one year they hung a wreath of pine branches  and I as well as others came by and it had twinkle lights that where lite  which was kind of weird see them lighted and now power any where

Battery powered we figured  but then upon closer examination we saw no wiring no battery pack or lights in the wreath. 

Kind of strange  one evening on and then gone  where they removed ? or stolen ?

Since the wreath was put up I have not seen anyone around it for a couple years now and as you can see its about to fall. 

Wanted to talk to one of them and get whole story  but they seem to no longer be  maintaining it. 

So for now a mystery as to how that wreath was lighted .
