A family were stunned to discover thieves had stolen the clothes off a glamorous snow woman they made on their driveway.

Val Windsor, 56, and her daughter Michelle Green, 33, built and dressed a “typical Scouse woman”, with eyelashes, rollers, a wig and dressing gown.

Ms Windsor said they were making the most of her daughter’s day off to enjoy the snow yesterday outside her home in Fazakerley.

Their creation stopped passers-by in the street, who took pictures and praised their efforts.

But the family were stunned to discover last night that thieves had “stripped” the snow woman and made off with her gown, sunglasses and handbag.

Ms Windsor told the ECHO: “I couldn’t believe somebody would take a dressing gown and bag and sunnies off a snow woman. She was stripped and left stark naked in the front garden.

“Yesterday afternoon my daughter and I were very excited as we had snow in Liverpool.

“My daughter helped me to make a snow lady. We thought we should dress her, as the man next door had made a snowman with a trilby hat in his front garden.

“So we were in competition. Ours is a typical Scouse woman getting ready for a night out.

“She has a handbag and a tin of hair lacquer with her, sunglasses and a dressing gown and wig.

“My daughter hand-drew the mouth and eyes on thick cardboard, and we used makeup brushes to make her big black eyelashes.

“We finished her by about 11am, and she had lots of compliments and people taking photos.”

But she and her husband were stunned to see her clothes had vanished as they went to close their blinds at the window at around 9.30pm.

She added: “I couldn’t believe it. Lots of other people were shocked too when we posted it on Facebook.

“What’s the world coming to when we steal off snow ladies? Maybe someone took it as a dare.

“I wasn’t angry, but you do think ‘really’? I hope the dressing gown at least keeps someone warm.”
