You’d
think the last thing people would steal from each other would be Xmas lawn decorations, because the whole point is to show them off
to your neighbors. But that seems to be the case in Colorado Springs as
police arrested 42-year-old Carrie Carley and her 18-year-old husband
Jeremy Lewallen. One of their neighbors retrieved his 9-foot inflatable
Grinch from the couple’s yard and then called police.
When
police arrived to Carley and Lewallen's house, they said they found 20
to 30 holiday decorations on the lawn without any sort of coherent
theme.
Police spotted various stolen decorations, including reindeer, Mickey Mouse, penguins, Dalmatians and "Frozen" characters.
A search warrant turned up 50 to 75 other stolen items in a "decoration graveyard," police said.
Carley
blamed the thefts on her young husband, and told the local news outlet
that he was also arrested for stealing Halloween decorations.
The two were lodged in the El Paso County jail on $1,000 bond.
