Thieves steal San Leandro family’s Halloween decorations for second year
The Nutting family’s Halloween decorations were stolen from their San Leandro home for the second year in a row, upsetting a family that has shared a free haunted attraction with its neighbourhood for 20 years. The theft threatens a tradition that gives local children and families an accessible Halloween activity.
Last year, security footage showed a thief taking decorations, but the family had no cameras in place for this year’s theft. A relative, Mary Alvarez, started a fundraiser to help replace the items; it had raised $200 towards a $900 goal by Thursday afternoon. The family still plans to open the haunted house on 31 October.
