Someone Keeps Wrecking Tinley Park Man's Snowman Holiday Decorations

The police said an animal may have done it, or maybe not.

A Tinley Park resident’s snowman holiday decorations were wrecked on two consecutive nights last week.

“The victim reported that two days in a row … sometime in the overnight hours, his holiday decorations were damaged,” police said.

The damaged decorations had been placed outside a home on Koehler Drive and are worth about $50, police said.

The owner of the decorations has no idea who could be doing this, police said, and the cops believe the culprit may not even be human.
