SUMMARY: Sure! Please provide the content you’d like me to summarize, and I’ll be happy to help.

Video shows a woman stealing Halloween decorations from a south city home, changing clothes, and then coming back for more the same day.

The first incident happened around noon Sunday on Michigan Avenue in the Tower Grove East neighborhood. Rose Thompson’s home surveillance camera captured a woman backing her car up in the middle of the road and then making two trips to her porch in the first visit, stealing items each time and then driving off.

Thompson said she couldn’t believe what she was watching.

“Someone pulls up, clearly likes what they saw, throws it in reverse, comes back and starts shopping like our porch is a HomeGoods,” she said.

During the thief’s first visit, you can see she looks directly into the camera before she starts grabbing Thompson’s property. Thompson says what makes it even more brazen is she and her husband, Drew, were home at the time in their living room with their three dogs on the other side of the front door.

She said once they realized what had happened, the woman was already gone. They thought they’d never see her again.

But three hours later, she was back.

SUMMARY: Boeing has laid off over 100 local workers as part of a nationwide reduction affecting 177,000 employees. This comes just before Christmas and follows protests for better pay amid furloughs. Most affected are assembly and process mechanics due to delays in the 777x aircraft’s delivery. Experts suggest that workers should remain calm and recognize this may be an opportunity for new career paths. Despite the layoffs, Boeing continues to support its employees by maintaining pay and health benefits until mid-January, while local agencies offer resources for resume and interview assistance.

The company says a delay in the 777X commercial aircraft being delivered is to blame for cutting staff. The local layoffs are part of a 17,000 employee reduction nationwide.
