'Tis the season to... steal lawn ornaments. You know it's a sorry state of affairs when people have to go around nicking Santa and Frosty blow-up dolls and other festive decos before the holidays.
But the Windsor, Ont., family is getting back at the grinch who stole a Christmas ornament from their their front yard: by naming and shaming the culprit.
"To the loser: You helped yourself to our snow globe. We hope that you have little ones to enjoy it since ours won't! Happy Holidays!" reads the sign posted on the lawn of their home on Howard Avenue where an inflatable once stood.
According to the report by CBC News, the homeowner placed the five-foot ornament on their lawn a few weeks ago, for his wife's birthday. It went missing some time around Nov. 22.
The family hopes the grinch who stole the ornament will find it in his too-small heart to return the ornament in time for Christmas.
Does naming and shaming actually work? Will the ornament find its way back to Howard Avenue? Time will tell.
