The carving was dragged across Dawn Riggs Pace s yard on North Madison Street over the weekend. Got tire marks on our lawn, she wrote on Facebook. If anyone gets this nice Christmas present just know it’s a stolen piece.
Pace is asking neighbors if the theft was caught on any security cameras.
We need Christmas more than ever in 2020, so it should come as no surprise that the Grinch was spotted trying to steal the joyous holiday right here in Central New York.
Residents of Oswego caught the Grinch in the act of stealing Christmas last week, and luckily officers from the Oswego Police Department were nearby to take him into custody.

Now you may be asking, how exactly did the Oswego Police teach that mean ol Grinch a lesson?
They sent him to the local YMCA, of course, where he spent the day with the kids in the afternoon Pre-K and K-12 Extension Programs. He read the kids a book and decorated cookies with them, getting in the holiday spirit and transforming into quite the loveable Grinch.
