The Grinch made five stops in the Warsaw area this weekend, stealing Christmas lights and decorations from recently decorated homes. Bruce and Regina Lackey, Pike Street, Warsaw, suffered a visit from vandals who were after their Christmas cheer.The Lackeys made it out a week ago to decorate their home. "I just don't understand how someone could come right up to our front window while we were in the house and steal our lights," said Regina Lackey. Bruce Lackey reported the theft of three strands of lights from his front porch to Warsaw police at 6:40 p.m.Sunday.Police told the Lackeys the theft was probably vandalism: The suspect cut the wires rather than unplugging them. He may have made off with the lights, but the thief did not steal their Christmas cheer. "We put the lights right back up for our little girls," Mrs.Lackey said.Lackey said she had many more strands of lights that she would have given away rather than feel unsafe in her home.
