Inside Edition - Thief Steals Inflatable Santa From Front Yard
In Carlsbad, California, a street is lined with 32 giant inflatable Santas, creating a festive atmosphere. Initially starting with nine, the number quickly grew to 32 as neighbors joined in the holiday spirit. However, a thief, dubbed the 'Grinch,' was caught on surveillance video stealing some of these Santas in the early morning hours. Clarice, one of the victims, initially thought her Santa had blown away but later realized it was stolen. She replaced it and, following her son's suggestion, added a tracking device to prevent future thefts. The community hopes for the return of the stolen Santas, ideally by Christmas, to restore the holiday spirit.
