Police in Bow, New Hampshire are scrambling to identify the culprit behind a festive crime that left several Christmas inflatables shattered and broken. Early Tuesday morning, someone took aim with a firearm at the colorful decorations, sending shards of plastic and thread flying in all directions.

I'm so sad about what happened in Bow, New Hampshire 
. It's just not right that someone would do something like that during the holiday season. It's all about spreading cheer and joy, not destruction and chaos 
. I mean, can you imagine how those residents feel? Their Christmas decorations are ruined and they're worried about their safety 
.
. We need to take a stand against people who would do something so reckless and hurtful 
. Home surveillance footage is key in these cases, can't we all be good neighbors and keep an eye out for each other? 
.
?! I mean, it's Christmas time! We're supposed to be celebrating joy and love, not dealing with broken inflatables and fear in our community 
. It's just heartbreaking to think about someone being so reckless and heartless. I'm sure the police are doing their best to catch whoever did this, but it's frustrating that we even have to worry about vandalism like this

... like christmas is supposed to be a time of love and giving not destruction and chaos... i mean what's wrong with these ppl? can't they just let others enjoy the holiday season without ruining it for everyone else? and it's not just about the property, it's about the community coming together and feeling safe and happy... but now it's all marred by this senseless act of vandalism 
... let's hope we can catch the perpetrator and bring them to justice, so our communities can feel safe again 
Has anyone ever heard of someone doing something so heartless on purpose? 
I'm seriously wondering if we've become too desensitized to these kinds of incidents... anyway, I hope the cops find whoever did this and bring them to justice ASAP! 
. Like, come on guys, we get it, you need our help, but do you have to make it sound like a covert ops mission? And also, who breaks Christmas inflatables at 1 am and then just walks away? Are these people just trying to be the Grinch or something? 
Anyway, more than happy to share any footage I've got (Spoiler alert: my grandma's cat is way more entertaining).
. The fact that police are reviewing home surveillance footage and speaking to witnesses suggests that the investigation is taking a thorough and methodical approach 
.
. By supporting our local law enforcement and reporting any suspicious activity, we can help prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future 
.
. It's heartening to know that there are still many who value community cohesion and the importance of preserving festive spirit during the holiday season 
It's all about finding the perpetrator and bringing them to justice, but what if they're just another statistic in this country?
