As Thomas Dolby and Running Man can tell you, random crime knows no bounds in Baltimore. Just before Christmas, purposeless purloiners struck again when they stole a wreath from a Canton door. In case the thief came back, the wreathโ€™s owners left a note.

โ€œTo the person who stole our wreath, youโ€™re a Grinch and you suck,โ€ the note reads. โ€œMerry Christmas, jerk.โ€

A firefighter saw the note and posted it on the Canton Neighbors Facebook group, calling it โ€œvery disappointing during the holiday season.โ€

One Redditor said the message was a wasted opportunity to use โ€œya filthy animal,โ€ but we assume the firefighter wasnโ€™t talking about the note. After all, there was a โ€œMerry Christmasโ€ amid the name-calling.
