Grinch Steals Presents After Kansas Family Loses Home To Fire

 A Galena family that lost their home in a recent fire has now been the target of a Grinch who stole Christmas presents meant for the family’s youngest member.

Jodi Gowens was living at the father’s home when a fire broke out on Nov. 6. The blaze burned through the roof on the west end of the house.

Gowens says they lost just about everything. The family includes Bowman’s girlfriend, Sue George, Gowens’ daughter and son-in-law, Alicia and Aaron Maize, and their 5-year-old son, Dylan.

The family moved into a Joplin motel while they waited for insurance to be completed. They put Dylan’s Christmas presents in a mini-storage unit, but someone broke into the unit and took two big boxes of gifts for Dylan.
