The as-yet unnamed mummy decoration was stolen from The Endeavour public house over the annual Goth Weekend at Hallowe'en

"A pub landlady has said she wants her "mummy" back after it was stolen on Halloween.
The prop was taken from The Endeavour pub in Church Street, Whitby, at about 22:00 BST on 31 October.
Maria Limbert said it formed part of decorations staff rolled out for the biannual Whitby Goth Weekend.
As police released CCTV images of two people they were keen to speak to about the theft, the licensee said: "I want it back. It's very frustrating."..."

Pinching Christmas decorations seems to be a thing this year, a 8ft Polar bear wearing a sweater and hat was taken from the Ivy restaurant in Oxford street just before Christmas

Someone along the road from where I live had a very kitch 8 foot inflatable LED lit Santa Clause stolen from their front garden during the night along with the electric pump to keep it inflated and lit. I'd have happily bought the thieves a drink.

I wonder where the term 'mummy' came from? I'm sure when I was a toddler and I cried out in the night for mummy, I sure I wouldn't have been very happy if that had walked into my room. Maybe it did which explains why I am like I am now.

One of the local pubs had all their Christmas decorations stolen, as they were gathering them all to put them up. Got into local news an' all! They managed to recover them.
