A Thief with Class

On Christmas morning I was watching Fox2 News, and they were describing there memories of past Christmas. They in the background played a song about Santa by the Beach Boys. I made recall myself of an incident that happened, I thought was sort of cool, not right, but cool.

Several years back, I believe it happened in Detroit Michigan Area.  These people had this real nice Santa, not a cheapo one. Someone stole it off the front lawn, and it ended up on the News because, it was an expensive one I believe. If I recall correctly, the news would update on the theft, “If anyone had any information” kind of a thing.  After a period of time, the owners of the Santa, on occasion would get picture postcard of the Santa traveling around in different places. I remember they showed one of the postcards with Santa on the beach, with these hot babes in bikinis around him.  I think it went on for a couple years, and then finally one day, Santa ended up back on the owner’s front lawn. I know there are some copycats of it, but the original was the best.

Sadly, one of the new "rages" is to swipe the outside Christmas projectors that project images onto a house. They can be pretty pricey and are in short supply-at least up to yesterday. I don't have one but happen to think they are pretty cool.

Just another case of people not respecting other's property.

I'd sure like to be the one riding around with 'Otis the hound' in that '55 Studebaker looking for that Potato Truck.

My neighbors have a sleigh that they have fake presents in. Sue and I have talked about pranking them for a few years. We want to find some matching paper and tear it up and lay it around the sleigh then hide the present around the side of their house.
