As depicted in the critically acclaimed biopic The Santa Clause, featuring an Oscar-worthy turn from esteemed dramatic actorTim Allen, the nefarious home intruder known simply as "Santa Claus" has a generally flawless though admittedly implausible method of breaking and entering. Santa, with his heartless group of reindeer bandits in tow, slithers into homes across the globe and ruthlessly leaves behind joyous gifts while downing an unholy amount of dairy.

Thankfully, both NORAD and Google have maintained their annual tradition of giving concerned citizens the ability to track Santa's every move via the magic of both the internet and your own imagination. For the Google-inclined, simply type the home invader's name into the search bar and follow the trail:
