He’s been labelled as the ‘Grinch’ who stole a young Sydney girl’s Christmas but it seems that not unlike his Dr. Seuss namesake, a drunken reindeer thief has had a change of heart.
Last week, nine-year-old Chiara Velardi woke up to find two cherished reindeer ornaments had disappeared from the lawn of her family’s Middleton Grange home.

Footage from a security camera showed two merrymakers attempting to bundle the glowing animals into a parked car in the middle of the previous night.
Tragically, one the animals was irreparably damaged in the heist.
