A Cape Coral family is heartbroken after their beloved Halloween decorations were stolen.
Francisco Navajas and his family dedicated hours to setting up an impressive display, which included an Addams Family inflatable, lights, extension cords, and even Frankenstein's hand.
Unfortunately, their festive atmosphere was shattered when someone ransacked their yard along SW 14th Place last Friday.
“We left the house for just 20 minutes, and when we came back, everything was gone,” Francisco said.
The family later discovered one of their decorations damaged and discarded down the street, a painful reminder of what they lost.
“They just completely ripped everything apart — the decorations, the extension cords, the lights, everything,” Francisco said.
For the family, it isn’t just about the monetary loss.
“What was the point of destroying it? Was it out of hate or jealousy?” Francisco said, emphasizing the emotional toll on his family.
Now, only a few graveyard decorations remain in their yard. They have filed a police report but are uncertain if they will bother redecorating.
“We just wanted to do something nice for the kids,” Francisco said.
The Navajas family said, "It's not worth it," ruining the Halloween spirit.
