One hoof and an antler. This is all that remains of the Bethlehem Shopping Centre's golden reindeer.
Goldie, as the statue has become known as by centre staff, was stolen on Friday night.
It's not the first time someone has messed with the reindeer. Last year someone decided to add some 'ornaments'. Read more here.
"Sadly, out golden reindeer didn't even last long enough for anyone to hang 'ornaments' from this year," reads a post on the Bethlehem Shopping Centre's Facebook apge.
"On Friday night, Goldie was stolen from outside Kmart.
"In the spirit of Christmas, we'd like to give the thieves a chance to return him before we hand their vehicle info over to police.
"There is still a chance to get off the naughty list."
Bethlehem Shopping Cenrre has released a CCTV image in the hope of identifying those who took the golden reindeer.
Anyone with information about where Goldie is, is asked to contact the Bethlehem Shopping Centre to arrange for his return. "No questions asked."
Contact information for the centre can be found on its Facebook page here.

If infamy is what you revere, then take a chance, and steal the deer. If Xmas kindness is your own, then leave the bloody deer alone!

....the resolute need to remove or at very least damage such an item as this?...something very sad about human behaviour...and really worrying. Please do not hesitate to pursue and punish these .....'people'... really weird thing to do.....

There are some real sickoes around with nothing better to do but steal - first the Lizard at Omokoroa, then the Gorilla from Palmers - hope the miscreants get the maximum thrown at them -if caught!
