Herman Crescent resident Pat Rhodes is asking anyone who lost Christmas decorations from outside their home to contact her, as they may be the ones she found spread around her property.

“We found some laying in the street in front of our house then we found more laying in the alley behind our house,” said Rhodes about her Dec. 4 and 5 discoveries. “The one in the front was the Abominable Snowman and he was claimed and then in the back there was a candle and a couple strings of lights and one of those white spirals…they’re supposed to look like a Christmas tree when you stand them up. Then there was three light-up gifts with a star and another set of lights attached to it.”

Rhodes said the candle and one string of lights was claimed by the United Church and returned, but the Christmas tree spiral, the gift bags and a string of blue LED lights is still in their possession. She said all the lights are still in working order and nothing seems too damaged.

“We’ve had some people phone asking about reindeer, but nope there wasn’t any reindeer,” she said. “So there was more (decorations stolen around town) and I guess the Catholic Church had some stolen too, but they found theirs by the school.”

Rhodes said there hasn’t been any mention to her of anyone else around town who found missing decorations. She said the job right now is just to get these ones back to their rightful owner before Christmas comes.

“It’s just they’re here for whomever that they belong to to come and claim them.”
