Sepulveda said his 80-year-old grandfather, Rafael Chacon, has put the snowman, worth about $100, and other decorations on their front lawn every holiday season since they moved into the house 13 years ago. This year he also decorated the house with Christmas lights, garland and an inflatable Santa.

“I’m disappointed, ” Sepulveda said. “We always put up the decorations, that’s the thing to do during this time, to get into the holiday spirit and all.”

Interesting fact
If you don’t want to call a tow truck, then do it by yourself very carefully. To avoid problems during transportation, both vehicles must have towing eyelets. Choose a reliable cable for towing, with carbines, and able to stretch. So it will be better for amortizing, because jerks are possible while towing. Normal cable in such conditions can break, damage the bumper, headlight or the glass. The rules for the process of fixing the cable are not regulated. If the "tug " no eyelets at the back, the cable is attached to the towbar. If it is missing, but the rear suspension spring, you can hook the cable with the spring.
