Police need your help to catch the Grinch Who Stole Halloween

The Philadelphia Police Department have put together a little video package this Halloween.

Although this time, it’s not teaching parents how to thoroughly inspect eat  candy or proper safety precautions for trick-or-treating. It’s about finding justice for the people having their Halloween decorations lifted from the front of a house on the 1100 block of Fitzgerald St. in LoMo. You’ve got to see the video.

Set to “This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas, the video shows a woman stepping out of a car to survey the scene. Taking her time, she settles on a mechanical monster butler. Having trouble with the wiring, she calmly sits on the step and unravels the undead Jeeves before sauntering back to the car. “It was a butler,” owner Josephine told 6ABC. “He had a big bird on its shoulder that talked and you walked by and it could talk.”

The incident took place around 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 23 and here’s the thing, not only is it not the first time it’s happened to this house, let alone on this block. Last year, two Santas were stolen from Josephine’s step. Thankfully, the thieves were caught in no time, having displayed the Santas in their window a few blocks away. Like we said, South Philly loves to go all out with holiday decorations.
