Grinch steals P.A. woman’s van full of Christmas gifts
Melanie Brown, who lives near the Carlton Park apartments, said she was shocked Saturday morning when she was told by her young son that her van was missing.
That same van was locked and parked in her driveway the night before.
“My heart sank because I had done Christmas shopping the day before and I had not had a chance to sneak it in the house past my children to hide it, you know the whole Santa Claus role,” she said.
Brown is a foster parent and has five children in her home, ranging in age from three and a half months to 13 years old.
