JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A skin surgery center in Jacksonville\u2019s Riverside neighborhood was a recent target of a Christmas-time crime. Two inflatable holiday decorations were stolen from the front yard of the business over the weekend. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Grinch literally snatched our Christmas decorations out the front yard,\u201d said Bailey Mosley, a medical assistant at Precision Dermatology on Riverside Avenue. <\/p>\n

She told us she has no idea who did this or why someone ever would. <\/p>\n \u201cHow could someone steal our Christmas decorations? It\u2019s like the lowest thing, you know,\u201d Mosley said. <\/p>\n Action News Jax looked through property crime reports from the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a> and found that, this year, more than 120 property crimes have been reported on the eastern half of the Riverside neighborhood, where the business is located. <\/p>\n We also went further and took a look at property crimes that have been reported around northeast Florida in recent years. We searched the FBI\u2019s database,<\/a> which collects crime records from local law enforcement agencies around the country, and found that there has been a downward trend in property crimes in December since 2021. <\/p>\n For Mosley, it doesn\u2019t take away from what happened to the business, which may soon have to pay for new decorations to put up for their patients. <\/p>\n \u201cWho knows, he\u2019s probably going to get some more [decorations] just to do it out of spite. You know, more Christmas spirit,\u201d said Mosley. <\/p>\n Action News Jax reached out to JSO to ask if it has been able to identify the person who stole the decorations. Right now, we are waiting for a response. Christmas-time<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n
