The Santa stolen from a Leyton family's garden
A FAMILY were horrified to discover their Christmas decorations had been stolen from their front garden.
A 4ft Santa and snowman were stolen by two men from the garden of Valerie Barrett, of Knotts Green Road, in Leyton, at 3am last Monday.
Ms Barrett said: "Had they not been disturbed they would have taken everything as we found out that every wire had been cut ready to take away.
"I put my decorations up every year and get enjoyment from watching the children's faces as they look, but now I feel that I will not bother any more. All because of two stupid idiots."
