Festive criminality

In Ohio's Hamilton County, a pair of 18-year-olds were arrested for using screwdrivers to stab an inflatable 12-foot-tall Frosty the Snowman. "Why me?" asked Frosty's owner, Matt Williquette. "And why Frosty?"

The snowman had survived two previous stabbing attacks.

At this time of year, one should perhaps not lose sight of the complexities of human nature. Why would anyone steal a plastic baby Jesus doll from a nativity scene in someone else's front yard? A collection of seasonal crimes here. (Thanks: MK.)
