I personally think Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving is a big no no, but I don’t feel strongly enough about it to fuck someone’s shit up over it.

Maybe theres a history here. a huge display every year maybe really obnoxious and disruptive and people have tried to address it but this person doesn't listen. maybe.

Listen, last year someone stole my pumpkins from our front door. We had a camera that recorded it and it was depressing and ridiculous to say the least.

have you seen some of the displays people do these days? Music, animatronics, synchronized light shows. Plenty of stories over the years of over the top displays drawing onlookers that disrupt a neighborhood and turns into big fight between neighbors. not that unreasonable a possibility to me.

Heartbreaking. It seems that nothing is sacred. I was raised to believe that God so loved a beautiful piece of land that He carved His Son’s initials on it, JC. I’m sorry this type of stuff happens anywhere. I’m a little more sorry that it happens in Jersey City.

For sure. Not saying I knew of anything, just that it’s possible. Not much info to go on. Seems very aggressive and deliberate for a random act. Somehow I guess just raising the possibility is interpreted as me condoning it.

Yeah, not sure why you are getting downvoted to badly. You are not wrong... tons of headlines of exactly this happening all over the US. Years of bad communications between neighbors related to massive displays or other grievances can result in some serious shit.

Cut them in multiple places? Sounds like someone doesn’t like your lights. Some people get jealous and might hate all the attention you’re getting. Some people are just dicks. Really puny ones. But don’t give in! And put a camera outside. Get the clowns picture and tell everybody in the neighborhood who he is and what he did. Why keep all that hate to yourself? That’s selfish! Fix the lights and put them up again! If you can, add more just to piss him off. As a matter of fact, put up a lot more! Some people are just despicable!

I was gonna say I could easily just see this being some yuppie transplant from New York who’s pissed off they have to live in the Heights instead of fancy Brooklyn

Someone stole Halloween decorations off my front yard this year. My Nest camera caught it on video. It was pretty sad. Just why?

I was convinced someone cut my lights in multiple spots one year. That was until my neighbor showed me the footage of the squirrels stealing the C7's after they chewed through the wires.

This is a real shame.

Unfort there seem to be so many people nowadays that really do not have a care/thought/respect for anybody else's property or feelings. I recently bought a video doorbell and as part of that, I opted-in to the local (Jersey City) community message board. I am shocked at just how many packages are being stolen DAILY from people's doorsteps - and these thefts are all being recorded by the video doorbells! Some thieves dont even try/bother to hide their faces.

My neighbors have a Christmas display that is accompanied by a loop of 20 Christmas song clips that loudly play for hours every evening in December. It can be heard from inside our apartment. We tolerate it because they seem to be nice people and I generally appreciate their other seasonal decorating efforts, but I would 100% understand if this caused someone who doesn't fully appreciate "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to snap.

But the point is that yes, obnoxious and disruptive decorating absolutely exists.

How the Grinch tried to steal one Jersey City street’s Christmas spirit

“Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming, ‘I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming!’” — Dr. Seuss, How The Grinch Stole Christmas
 
The Christmas villain did not pay a visit to New York Avenue in Jersey City this week, but someone — perhaps also with a heart two sizes too small — did their best impression.
 
A homeowner whose Christmas display is an annual winner in a countywide contest says his labor of love was vandalized by someone who snipped the wiring on multiple strands of expensive LED lights outside his home.
 
Edward Roman said it takes a good month for he and his husband to erect the elaborate display at 413-415 New York Ave., and he was stunned when they found the damage Thursday morning.
 
“We go bigger every year,” said Roman. “We do it for the neighborhood, for the kids. ... It’s disheartening to see this happen because it makes you not want to continue doing it.”
 
The couple started creating the display on Nov. 1, and it’s still incomplete, Roman said. Now he has to practically start over.
 
The dazzling display is a perennial champion in the Hudson Media Group’s Best Christmas Decorated Home Contest that covers Jersey City, North Bergen and Bayonne.
 
Roman said at least three strands of the lighting were damaged. “They are $50 to $75 each. I have to un-connect everything to see how much damage was done. There may be more strands cut that I don’t even know about.”
