First, someone stole the lighted Christmas penguins from our yard. Now someone has stolen our two lighted deer. What’s with these people? We decorate our house so everyone can enjoy the lights in this dark time of year. People who steal holiday decorations are pathetic losers.

Watch the movie, the Grinch who stole Christmas. The point of that movie is (you obviously wouldn’t get there on your own) that you don’t need tacky shit to have a Happy Christmas. Happy Christmas’ come from within.
Dig deep and find your spirit, i think you left it at Walmart.
It doesn’t make it right for some little shit to steal your stuff, now does it?
I wonder if the person who stole the lighted deer is the same person from Wally’s bitch who couldn’t get any Christmas lights because they’re sold out?
Either way, that’s a pretty douchy thing to steal.
if you live near any of the universities then you had to know this would happen.
absolutely no respect for other people’s property.
One can only hope the ‘do unto others…’ rule will affect the thieves themselves someday over something they valued so they will know what it feels like to be violated the same way!
Oceanlady, no one values those tacky lawn deer.
It is just a trend.
but fucking penguins? what the hell are you doing with penguins in your yard, for christmas yet? man you are just fucked up dude.
INFY, It doesn’t matter that you are above “tacky lawn deer” and look down on people who shop at Wal-Mart.
Stealing is wrong, and you’re a snob.
Last week, my kid asked me why we didn’t have Christmas decorations and lights on the front of our house. We live near a major university and can’t keep anything in front of our house. They even kick over the mail box on our streetand have smashed beer bottles on our front step. I felt bad when I had to explain to her that people would steal or wreck the decorations that we would put out for the enjoyment of others.
Now that I live in the burbs (more ore less) I’m all over the tacky wacky stick. Y’gotta keep up with the Joneses!
Ewww tacky! The dudes did you a favour. Leave out some mlk and cookies for them :).
Any of you hear in the news about 2 ,15 year old girls ,doing 20 plus car break ins out this way & after people did the right thing & reported their BNE’s ,them getting caught by the Enfeild RCMP !
Is it just me or isn’t this about as disrespectful a crime as you can commit.
(luckily , so far no ones been tasered )
Your stealing decorations, & picking on motor vehicles…which those of us who own them know… aren’t a big enough expense already! & plus they just go around peoples homes stealing their stuff
Go take out a bank vault, or the mint or something !
