Thieves steal Christmas light It's difficult to find something that won't interest thieves these days. This week a senior reader informed the Signal -Star that Christmas lights were taken from outside a senior citizen's apartnirt on Picton Street West for the second Itraight year. Last year thieves simply removed the entire string of lights from the tree: This year, however, they appeared to have more ,time and removed each bulb from the string on a tree planted by the town. The lights were donated. "We feel very strongly about it," the caller said. "It was just a terrible thing. We apreciated having the tree." It seems that more people are decorating the outside of their homes this year, a practice that adds to the spirit of the season. But if some have the audacity and time to individually remove light bulbs from private displays, fewer and fewer people will bother with decorative Christmas lighting. INSIDE THE SIGNAL -STAR ) s.
