Det. Frank Olsen said a concerned resident at Yonge and Macpherson Streets called Tuesday to say their $200 wreath disappeared from their front door sometime between Sunday night and early Monday morning.

“They noticed the wreath missing Monday morning and the ribbon that held it to their door had been cut,” Det. Olsen said in an email.
