“It’s a shame as Santa has been with us since the first Christmas we opened and the kids love to see him stand proudly at the entrance with his bucket and sponge,” McLaughlin said in the story. “I can’t believe someone would be able to take him in broad daylight, what happened to the spirit of Christmas in Kilwinning? Please bring him back.”
Readers with information on Santa’s whereabouts were asked to contact the team at KML Carwash.
