People often ask why we have so many security cameras installed around the Jefferson Palace Hotel. Unfortunately, this is the exact reason why.
Sunday, a group of teenagersāaccompanied by their parentsādecided to target our outdoor Halloween displays on the side of the property, specifically destroying our rare, out-of-print Home Depot "Predator of the Night" animatronic. After the father broke the left hand off, the kids decided the right hand needed to come off as well and ripped it completely off. As if that wasn't enough, our footage also clearly captures the father tampering with another piece of our display. It is deeply disappointing to see adults setting that kind of example.
We have the entire incident captured clearly on camera, and the police are actively investigating. We are looking to identify these individuals so they can be held fully accountable for the destruction of our property and how they plan to pay for the animatronic they thought it was okay to destroy.
They had several ways to get ahold of us, phone number on the door, doorbell etc? But nope they chose to just leave.
