I’m disappointed in my neighbors.

“Every year we decorate our yard and home with inflatable characters. We do it for the kids, not for us. This year one of the inflatables disappeared. We would like it back, no questions asked. You can leave it by the ramp at our front door or on the back porch in the carport. Either place is fine. If you know anything…”
