You really are a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
A real-life Grinch in San Mateo, California was caught on surveillance video, pulling up beside a parked car, stealing a Christmas tree off the roof and driving off, all while the owners were doing their holiday shopping, according to ABC News affiliate KGO-TV.
So far, police haven’t identified the crook, but are keeping an eye out for similar thefts as the holiday season progresses.
As for the unlucky victims, the tree lot provided them with a replacement, free of charge.
