You know folks are dealing with challenges when they steal something; but when they take the second one, well... Merry Christmas. PS, If you know anything about a bar-robbing, two-time kettle-, turkey-, and Jesus-stealing  Santa with a gun, you're urged to contact your local authorities. They could then wipe a whole rash of unsolved crimes off the books.
