Letter: Christmas theft

To the editor:

In the late 1980s, I found a pattern for a Santa, sleigh and reindeer. I cut them out of wood and painted them in 1990. My kids and I have put them in the yard every year since then.

This year, my son and I put them out on his 27th birthday, Nov. 29, and, on Dec. 2, four days later, someone took them from the front yard. We were blown away! This would have been the 24th Christmas for the display. My son does not remember Christmas without them, so really this letter is to the grinch that stole Christmas. May his neighbors know what kind of person they live by.
