decoration

A 13-foot-tall Jack Skellington Halloween decoration was stolen from the front yard of a Corona home, and its owner — a huge fan of the “Nightmare Before Christmas” character — is hoping for its return.

Her flat was decorated with red, white and blue American flags and plastic 4 July Independence Day decorations.

Items like themed tableware, paper goods and decorations will also be available.

The shops bring in about £120,000 a year for a Common Good fund, administered by Inverclyde Council and mostly used to finance Christmas decorations or the annual Gourock Highland Games.

Expensive furniture has been broken or thrown out of the window, fancy decorations ripped out, every page of a Quran torn, and it stinks of rotten leftover food.
