RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Homeowners in a Raleigh neighborhood are voicing concerns after a few people had their inflatable Christmas decorations stolen earlier this week.
"I think it’s sad, it’s not the spirit of the season," said Kayla Aldridge.
Two people living in the Lakemont neighborhood, just south of Millbrook Road near Six Forks Road, warned neighbors on social media that their decorations had been taken.
"It’s upsetting, it’s upsetting because the inflatables are for the kids and to think are taking them at Christmastime, is sad," said Alyse Fry, who lives in the neighborhood.
Those who had their decorations taken tell CBS 17 that they're surprised and upset that someone would come onto their property and take them.
Alridge has three inflatables in her yard, but thankfully they haven't been stolen.
“We had actually our Halloween candy stolen this year from a kid, which we caught on camera," Aldridge said. "It’s still upsetting that that’s what we’re kind of coming to terms with is trying to steal other people’s joy and happiness."
The Raleigh Police Department says it's working to pull information about decorations stolen.
