"But on Sunday morning this is what we woke up to.

"Some low life has ripped out two of the deer never to be seen again.

"£180 we paid for the reindeer, not just for us but for the community.

"Every year I try to add stuff, but no more.

"To say I am angry is an understatement."

Anthony has reported the crime to West Yorkshire Police.
