A dejected senior, the victim of a thief who stole
a pair of rare black lights from his Halloween
display, had something to smile about last
Sunday.

Hubert Soomers said his wife answered the door carly
Sunday afternoon to find a uembling young man holding the
battered lights.

He also clutched a ripped and crumpled News article pub-
lished the same day about the theft.

“He was shaking like a feaf in his arms and legs,”
Soomers, 65.

“He claimed some friends put them in his vard and he had
a dirty name for his friends. My wife didn’t know what he was
saying. She was quite surprised,” he said.

Soomers” wife asked for the young man's phone number so
that Soomers could thank him.

The young man said that wasn't necessary and ran to his
car. He zoomed away.

For the past cight years, Soomers has created an elaborate
ghoulish scene at his North Vancouver home in the 400-block

of West Windsor Ruad.

He estimated 500 people came to see a display this year thar
included a moving rocking chair with a witch and a wishing
well with a protruding head.

Soomers braved the pouring rain to set up the display on
Halloween day.

He was so tired on Halloween night that he decided not to
put away the entire scene. Soomers only removed some display
lights before going to bed.

Thieves hit the display again less than 24 hours Jater when

said

oo two more black lights and a large cat figure were stolen, Those
~. items have not been returned. .
