‘Grinch’ Steals Tree From North Escambia Church (With Video)
December 1, 2018
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a “grinch” that stole a ficus tree from a North Escambia church.
The man pulled up in front of the Gonzales United Methodist Church and proceeded to stuff the large tree into the backseat of his car (video below).
“Maybe his heart will grow three sizes and he’ll come forward and turn himself in and return the Ficus. If not, we need your help to identify this suspect,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a social media post.
Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call the ECSO at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

Shoulda known… Bama fan…freakin’ tide stole an SEC championship.. Figures their fans would follow suit…humbug to Nick Satan! GEAUX TIGERS!!
you know times are hard when you gotta steal a tree.
Looks like front fender is missing….
Sad thing for this Bama fan is that the members of the church would probably given you the shirts off their back if you asked. Instead now you will likely be spending his birthday in jail.
Time to build that wall and keep those Alabamians from taking our jobs and belongings!
Just in case you didn’t notice, from the angle of the imagery, you can tell where the camera is. Unless there are others not shown, it might be wise to move it…or maybe camouflage it in Christmas decorations. After all, nobody would steal Christmas decorations from a church, right?
David for better people
(and coal in this fellow’s stocking–
do they allow coal in prison…or stockings?)
LOVE that bama sweater!!!!!
Ficus trees usually die if they are moved.
Thief’s Honey: oh baby I saw the most beautiful tree when I was visiting that church last week – will you get me one?
Thief: anything for my Princess
Thief stealing tree: if this doesn’t prove I love her nothing will
Looks to be a 90s model Saturn, with no front right fender.
What a dumb small thinking criminal. To take from a church porch when the big money thieves do it in the pulpit. He will get in more trouble for littering.
He’s not a Grinch, he’s a scumbag thief. reality of decent society being overrun with vermin.
Stealing is wrong, and there is nothing I hate worse than a thief. I could half way understand if he stole a Christmas Tree this time of year, but a ficus tree makes no sense at all.
Don’t you have to be some kind of wicked to steal from a church? I hope the judge doesn’t gives him some jail time for this, through a few Christmases.
Trying to make his family happy at home? To be a proud parent you have to do things the right way to be able to take any glory! God and camera sees everything!
run the plates.
The car is an early 2000s Saturn…shouldn’t be hard to find
Nope !!!
The grinch would never be caught in an Alabama shirt !!!!
The car should be easy to spot=right front fender looks to be black primer and sticks out like a sore thumb.Stealing from a church….how sad that is. Someone knows this guy and since so many people read North Escambia maybe they will recognize him and let him know he’s “famous” and shame him into returning the tree. God said to judge not,but no one likes a thief. Hope he redeems himself and does the right thing.Merry Christmas to everyone,and remember the reason for the season.
I hope he got Chiggers (red bugs)
on his …..Never mind.
Rooooll Tide
Pathetic and apparantly an Alabama fan…go figure
Pick-up the cigarette that he was smoking then threw down to get DNA. All criminals are going to leave some type of evidence but this DUMMY thinks no witness seen him…well DUM -DUM and I’m not talking about that candy sucker either…this dum-dum left DNA AND IT’S ALL ON VIDEO..HAHA
NOW GO TO JAIL AND HE’LL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!
