Christmas Lights Stolen

[CodeRedR51]

My family had this happen to us several years ago. We were all sitting in the living room watching TV when we heard a noise outside, my mom opened the front door to catch 1 or 2 guys trying to steal our decorations. One of the guys tripped over some lights and fell on his face trying to get away.

They were caught down the street. 👍

I used to steal people's Christmas lights too, until I took an arrow to the knee.

Until you had a self-destruct accident you mean.

Maybe he'll give them back to you as a christmas present. Anyway, I've never had anything stolen from my yard, however, we have had things rearranged. The day after halloween, everyone's outdoor belongings had been moved over to the next house so that everyone had the belongings of the neighbor that lived to their left.

I once had mine stolen from the front garden. I saw them do it because the cable went in through the front window and they tugged at it and ripped it. I then found the lights just up the road.

That sucks, but not as much as the guy on another forum I visit who had his car's front tyres slashed last night. He only noticed after he had been down a fast road with his son in the car as they didn't deflate right away! The blade was still jammed into one of them. Some absolute scum out there.

That's Stupid.. What a ridiculous thing to do

Still hovering in my mind.. Why, out of many things in this world a christmas light is the target? I don't get it. These scumbags really needs to be slashed alive!

Hey, just because we're on the west side doesn't mean we suck. "rolleyes:

Edit: Because we replaced those lights, I'm curious if they will steal again, let's see!
