There’s an important issue at hand.

A family from California, passionate about Disney, is wishing for a “Halloween miracle” after a crafty thief stole their 13-foot animatronic Jack Skellington from their yard.

Avelina Rodriguez has proudly displayed the iconic decoration of the “Nightmare Before Christmas” character each year from October until New Year’s. From its placement, the famous Pumpkin King oversees both Trick-or-Treaters and carolers during the festive season.

However, this year, a brazen criminal snatched it away weeks ahead of Halloween.

Rodriguez’s family, including her 2-year-old granddaughter who adores the beloved Tim Burton film—so much so that her first word was “Jack”—have been heartbroken, she shared with Fox 11.

The community quickly rallied to support the family as they grieved the loss of their treasured yard ornament.

Upon hearing about the theft last weekend, a compassionate neighbor reached out to share security footage that captured the thief in action.

The video revealed a hooded figure carrying the substantial skeleton and placing it on the roof of a nearby car, reminiscent of securing a Christmas tree, before speeding off in the early morning hours.

“They struck at 5 in the morning when it was still dark. They hoisted him onto the roof of the car—imagine balancing a 13-foot Jack while the driver sped away? It’s absurd!” Rodriguez recounted to the news outlet.

She criticized the callous thief for shattering such a cherished tradition but remains optimistic that Skellington will be returned to her Halloween celebration.

“Getting him back would mean the world to me—it would be a Halloween miracle. We know about Christmas miracles, but this would bring so much joy to my family and restore some hope,” she expressed.

The Halloween season frequently spurs its own share of unusual happenings.

For instance, last October, an officer in Ohio was humorously “attacked” by a giant inflatable pumpkin that rolled away from its place and toppled over him, enveloping him momentarily before they managed to control it.

Just a few months prior, the same officer had an encounter with a pair of angry turkeys during a simple traffic stop.
