Terrible Santa Steals From Yacht Clubhouse [Till]
It's Christmas time, and Santa Claus is having trouble with the bottom line. Retail sales are better than last year, however Santa Claus is running an entirely different operation. He needs something to take the pressure off this holiday season. That jolly old elf needs to maintain. ”Santa Claus burglarizes yacht club” is the cautionary tale for modern youth, reports The Providence Journal.

Bad Santa robs wealthy yacht clubhouse
Yes, there is a Santa Claus, and that terrible Santa needs spending money like you wouldn't believe. I guess stealing gas stations wasn’t brining Santa Claus in enough green, he needed to rob someplace more upscale. Lt. Raymond Blinn of the Providence Police Department noted that on Sunday at about 7 p.m. a man dressed as Santa entered the East Providence Yacht Clubhouse on Pier Road. He meant to fill up his gift bag with cash instead of handing out toys. It was noted that Saint Nick was not so saintly when he pulled out what appeared to be a gun of some type. Fortunately no person was hurt at the yacht clubhouse, and Santa Claus did not turn into a total Grinch and didn’t even fire his gun.
There actually are things to be thankful for this Christmas
Buckshot is not typically associated with Santa Claus, which makes this craven display of felonious holiday cheer all the more jarring. Even if Bad Santa was merely packing rock salt, the trust of true believers may have been shaken. Santa Claus was also wearing jeans, which is not so traditional. Santa left many wondering where the spirit of the holiday has gone, and why he did not just fly up the chimney to get away. Santa Claus did get away, but he is nevertheless being hunted by area police.
