Puzzle Postcard

The (reindeer) game is afoot this week, as law enforcement and members of the Lake Havasu City community attempt to solve the case of one very large, very missing Christmas decoration from the English Village. The stolen “Rudolph” decoration itself cost about $360, including shipping, McLearen said. By Sunday afternoon, members of the Havasu community offered to buy her a replacement, and staff at Havasu’s Home Depot location offered to give her a new decoration for her business beneath the London Bridge. Now, McLearen has two new “Rudolph” decorations as community support continued this week. McLaren received a $100 donation and a Christmas card from one supporter on Monday, while McLearen was speaking with Today’s News-Herald about the incident. Burgers by the bridge did a community appreciation night with free hot chocolate, cookies, photos with Santa and live music.
