REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A massive Halloween display in southwest Redmond is missing some key features due to late-night thieves, and the owner is looking for answers, but just wants them returned.
Late Monday night, someone took some of the larger inflatables out of the yard on SW 27th Street. The swiped decorations include a massive dragon that moved and lit up, a large looming ghost, an inflatable tree and a mini-Grim Reaper.
David Fisher, who helped create the display, estimates about the four decorations were worth slightly more than $700.
When Fisher and his family posted about the theft online, someone responded with a video of what appears to be four people running through a yard, carrying deflated decorations.
While Fisher is upset about the theft, he’s just hoping to get the decorations back.
“If they mysteriously reappeared, bygones can be bygones,” he said in an interview Tuesday with KTVZ News in front of the still-impressive Halloween display. “And we can move forward and allow the community to enjoy the display. That one reason we did this, we put this out is for the community and our neighbors.”
Because the display is on a major road in Redmond, it gets a lot of attention. Fisher says people make it a point to stop by daily and admire it.
A report has been filed with the Redmond Police about the crime.
Online, other people reported having their decorations stolen in a nearby neighborhood.
