For so many years it had been as much a part of his Christmas as Santa himself and the only Christmas the exhibit did not brighten up. Stevens Drive was last year. In 1979 Lovis suffered a heart attack after putting up the display and his wife, worried that the strenuous task may have had something to do with it, persuaded him to leave it in storage last year. But the display meant too much to Lovis not to put it up a second year. This Christmas he became even more ambitious and stret- ched the sleigh and reindoor on a line so it looked like Santa was flying through the sky, rather than just setting up the figures on the roof of his carport. By Monday this week though, Lovis had had his faith restored that in spite of the mean actions of the Santa kidnappers, the spirit of Christmas is indeed as alive as it ever was. His phone line became jammed with offers of help from people who had heard of his misfortune. “I have had so many offers of help I don't know what “T'm going to do to thank all these people,” News, he told the N.

Yesterday Lovis was assessing the damage to his returned Santa sleigh display and decided he'd probably incorporate some of the new cutout he'd been working on. He was expecting to have it all painted and back up with the reindeer by tomorrow. Lovis said the experience has shown him just how many people enjoy his decorations. “I think people are wonderful,” he declares. “I never knew it was ap- preciated so much. But the calls I got were just un- believable.” But he added that he feels sorry for the parents of the juveniles arrested in con- nection with the vandalism. At News press time police were expecting to lay charges of theft over $200 and mischief, against three 16-year-old youths - two from West Van and one from Delta. The vandalism was one of various incidents in the same area over the weekend. A couple of hours before Santa was snatched, vandals were busy up on Bonnymuir where a resident heard a noise on her front porch but did not go to investigate. The following morning she found two shrubs had been torn up from beside her driveway and placed on the doorstep. Several empty wine bottles had been thrown into her pool, as well as garden chairs. In the 300 block South- borough, a beer bottle had been thrown through the rear window of a parked Honda the previous night.
