Thief steals 'Christmas weed' from Ohio traffic island holiday display

Friday, December 28, 2018
TOLEDO, Ohio (KGO) -- We've heard of porch pirates, stealing packages during the holidays, and now another Grinch has swiped part of a holiday display that inspired goodwill in Ohio.

A crew with our ABC sister station in Toledo captured footage of a man pulling up the "Christmas Weed" from a traffic island. He then put it inside the trunk of his car and drove off.

A family first decorated the "weed." Other people then added their own ornaments and touches.

Toledo officials even set up a donation box for local charities.
