Chiara Velardi, 9, was left in tears after unidentified men pulled up in a car outside her Sydney home on Thursday night and swiped her two light-up reindeer. A surveillance camera captured the theft of the display which, while only worth around $55 U.S., was of huge sentimental value to her family.
