Well, the spotlights were blazing away into our bedroon windows and he was an idiot to use reindeer.

Can I help it he doesn’t get home until after six each evening?

Of course I had to rearrange the reindeer into reindeer games every day. It takes a ton of imagination to find new poses for them day after day after day.

I wonder how many years the idiot across the street will continue to put up this commercial mess?

I can’t follow the ginormous conversational leap in the sign. Imagine you? What did car theft get involved? Who the heck speaks like that, “I plus my neighbors enjoy…”?

You learn something new everyday with Google. Destructive little buggers…

Those tetrahedral things are called “caltrops”? I always thought they were called “jacks.”

SON: Dad, why did you leave my Christmas presents in the car?
FATHER (sighs) : To make it easier for karmic retribution, son…to make it easier for karmic retribution…

I love the GPS idea. Too expensive for the average consumer. But definitely a nice way to catch the vandals red-handed. I would LOVE to go around with the cops and photograph these people’s faces as they realize they’ve been caught.

There’s no evidence to show that vandalism/theft of yard decorations hasn’t been a problem in the past, either for the note writer or for other people in his neighborhood. If not, then yes, he’s being a preemptive asshole. If there has been (which we don’t know), then the note writer is merely clueless about his target audience.

There is no evidence that anything has been stolen. The note doesn’t say anything has been stolen, the submitter doesn’t report that anything has been stolen. Yes, it’s crappy to steal someone’s Christmas decorations. It is just as crappy, if not crappier, to assume some kid’s going to steal something.

The note writer is just being a preemptive asshole.

This is just the kind of message that those PRKs need to actualize their full potential. Nothing brings out latent hooliganism in the 9+ year-old demographic than a warning note in front of an elaborate front-yard holiday display…

I’m surprised no one’s stolen the note yet.

I think you’re all being way too harsh on the note writer. Does no one feel bad for them for having their decorations stolen?

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll? Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us! Kramer: That must have been some kind of doll. Frank Costanza: She was.
