EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. - An Long Island family was robbed, and someone stole their Christmas lights from their house, they left a note for the thief, in stead of filling a report about the theft. And what a note it was! A sign, wishing the thief a "Merry Christmas" saying: "You stole our lights but not our spirit. Merry Christmas." According to Susan Brown and Peter Fitzgerald, the blue lights were taken sometime over the weekend, from an evergreen tree outside their home. This theft disrupted a family tradition begun as a symbol of hope after the premature birth fo Brown's grandson, Tyler Gulluscio, in 2003. "I don't know who took the lights," said 4-year, today a healthy boy in telephone interview. "Maybe it was a squirrel or a porcupine or a bad guy." "He doesn't quite understand why someone would takesomething from somebody else and not to give it back," said Tyler's dad. "Even if we never know who took them, if they just put the lights back, that would be great!" Fitzgerald says his family really hopes to see the blue lights back on the evergreen come Christmas Eve, when the family will gather at Brown's home for dinner. Until then, they have strung multicolored lights on the tree.
