Grinch targets a senior citizen

Dec 2, 2010 | 5:22 AM

In Porcupine Plain, someone stole a large Christmas decoration from an elderly woman's front yard.

“I feel really bad about it, it was pretty nice,” said 97-year-old Stella Boyko, who relies on a walker to get around.

The large inflatable Santa riding a tractor was a gift from her three children.

“She spent most of her moments the last week and a half looking at that,” said her son Terry Boyko, who lives in British Columbia.

Boyko plans to visit his mom next week and hopes by then the decoration is returned.

“If it's a prank, it's not a very good one … this is low, as low as someone can get,” he said.

The family has contacted the RCMP.
