A Grinch Caused $30K Worth of Damage to a Christmas Light Display, But It’s Back Up and Running

There’s a small Christmas miracle happening in Washington state, where a GRINCH or GRINCHES tried to shut down a Christmas display.

Last week, an unknown person (or people) damaged about one-third of a Christmas light display that was set up for an annual celebration.

It’s a very elaborate display that the city of Centralia puts up every year, which raises thousands for local nonprofits.  But last week, someone slashed a TON of cables and wires, causing around $29,000 in damage.

The perp hasn’t been caught, but the city has rallied to get the display fixed, and it’ll be back up and working TONIGHT.

They have added security this time around, including cameras and patrols. They’re also accepting tips if anyone knows who was behind the vandalism.
