Original Toronto Star caption: Santa he wasn't: Monica McNamara and her son Michael, 11, prepare their Christmas lights to make the best of the season after a mean-spirited thief stole a $1,000 Scratch and Win lottery ticket that they had just won. The man pretended to congratulate them while they jumped for joy.
