Rudolph the Red-nose Christmas decoration stolen.

During the early hours of December 29, 2008, a cherished Christmas decoration that has adorned the residence of 112 Pinecone Lane for over 12 years was taken. The thief or thieves made off with a life size deer decoy modified to resemble Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. The decoy holds sentimental value as it was a gift from our departed son, and has been a Christmas tradition cherished by family and friends in the neighborhood.

A Police report has been filed, but it is unlikely that this object shall ever be recovered. It is a sad commentary that in this day and age, and in this town, someone would need to steal Christmas decorations. To that person who now has the decoration, May God enter your heart and return the decoration to its rightful owner.
