"Everyone loves Glow, the Halloween drive-thru light show, but unfortunately, it was the victim of a theft. On Friday morning, a generator valued at $5,000, used to help power the show, was stolen right off the property in broad daylight," Washington Township police said in an Oct. 28, 2024, Facebook post.

The thief was seen wheeling the pricey generator into a "bluish-colored Chevrolet Avalanche," police said. Surveillance video at a nearby Wawa captured the man's face -- behind those sunglasses.
