A wreath thief?

It’s difficult to say, and in many ways even more difficult to comprehend.

But it was 9:30 p.m. this past Tuesday (Dec. 1) when a car pulled up in front of Komal Padda’s Cobblestone Court home and a woman got out.

She walked casually up to the front door, reached for the Christmas wreath adorning it and removed it.

Then, she turned and ran.

It was all captured on Padda’s video surveillance cameras.

“I’m kind of surprised someone would do something like this,” Padda says. “Everybody’s been commenting that this is really low.”

The wreath was nothing special to anyone but her two daughters, aged 6 and 8, who carefully picked it out at WalMart to mark the occasion of the birth of their little brother four months ago.

“It’s left them kind of heartbroken,” Padda says, adding they have returned to WalMart but can’t find a wreath exactly like it.

They were planning to put more Christmas decorations on the pillars beside the door and on the garage, but now they are having second thoughts.
