With Christmas only a few weeks away, neighborhoods all over the country are starting to fill up with lights and decorations. However, for one home in Texas there is something major missing from their display. The family recently had their 16-foot Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer inflatable stolen from their yard, and now they are offering a $2,000 reward to anyone who can help them find it.
The Furman family in Houston, Texas takes pride in their annual Christmas decorations. This year, their yard features a 20-foot tall inflatable Santa as well as a decorative mailbox where children can put letters to Santa. However, their second biggest decoration is now gone after a woman stole a 16-foot Rudolph inflatable from their yard. As seen in surveillance footage, the woman drives up to the home and unplugs the inflatable, later returning with a partner and placing the inflatable in a pickup truck before driving off.
Now, the family is offering $2,000 to anyone who can help them find the stolen inflatable, according to Fox News. “They stole from neighborhood kids in all reality. That’s essentially why we do it. Stealing Christmas, I mean we’re not going to allow them,” said Ernest Furman. Hopefully the inflatable is returned before Christmas, and the holiday spirit is restored.
