Lost holiday decorations near Daytona Beach Boardwalk

On Friday around 7:15 PM, I was taking down a batch of holiday decorations on the balcony that overlooks the Daytona Beach Boardwalk. A gust swept through, and I swear I saw the tote tip over near Ocean Avenue. By the time I reached downstairs, the garlands and a string of battery-powered lanterns were gone. I spent the next hour retracing my steps along the boardwalk and asking a few neighbors, feeling more anxious with every passerby. They are not just decorations; they are our seaside Christmas tradition. If they turn up anywhere near the Boardwalk, I would be forever grateful.
