A grinch is stealing holiday cheer from one Colorado Springs family. Holiday inflatables, that were on the family's front lawn, disappeared over night about a week ago.

The homeowner had put up the decorations a few days before they went missing. What upset Wendy Bach the most was that the inflatables were just a few feet from her front door.

"We had a scarecrow. There was a big turkey and a small turkey,” Bach told 11 News.

"No one has a right to do that to you. For someone to come into your yard and take something that you worked hard for... Those (inflatables) belong to the kids."

Her 5-year-old daughter Andi said she's convinced it was teenagers who stole her holiday fun. "They either threw them in the trash or took to a pawn shop," said Andi.

"It's rotten," said Wendy Bach. She worries the grinch will return and hit other unsuspecting neighbors who may have their inflatables disappear.

"It's $110. They don't make some inflatables anymore, so to me, they’re priceless. I can't get certain ones anymore."

Bach said she won't be putting any more inflatables back in her lawn.

Springs Police said this isn't a citywide trend, but anytime you leave something in your front yard, it's easily accessible to crooks.

Getting a motion sensor light could help scare away the bad guys.
