Grinch Steals River Plantation Holiday Decoration

This is the second time part of the decorations on sign at entrance to the neighborhood has been stolen.

A Grinch has stolen part of the holiday decor on the entrance sign to River Plantation on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Duluth Patch reported. The sign is located one mile north of the PIB intersection with Sugarloaf Parkway in unincorporated Duluth near Suwanee.

Randy Bieniek, who is in charge of landscaping for the neighborhood, said the decoration apparently was stolen sometime Saturday (Dec. 15) night and discovered Sunday morning. The same item disappeared in 2010. "Replacing it costs about $250 and the effort of volunteers," she said.

A theft report was filed with Gwinnett County Police Monday, Bieniek said. She asked that anyone who may have seen the Grinch(es) in action to call the Gwinnett PD at 770-513-5300.
