"I don't know if it is game or somebody just does not like Christmas," Ghali said. "Maybe it is the Grinch or Scrooge." Ghali said the vandal apparently did not notice his three cameras mounted around his home."It is something that I've always had on my houses just to be on the safe side," Ghali said.Several neighbors were angered over the vandalism to the holiday display."Although it was Michael's property, we as a community feel as though we have all been violated," Thomas Hanna.Tire tracks and skid marks remain in Ghali's yard Friday morning. Ghali has given the video to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office in hopes it will lead to an arrest in the case."I want them to get caught," Ghali said. "I want them to be prosecuted. This should not have happened. Not two days before Christmas."If you have any information concerning this crime, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
