Given what’s been said so far, sounds like the block lights their poles. Since the OP is usually not there at Xmas, odds are lights had been placed on his pole previously. While it is trespassing, I doubt any harm was meant and I’m sure the culprit honestly thought s/he was doing the right thing. However, breaking the cover and not offering to repair or replace it is inexcusable.
As was suggested, talk to your neighbors. I’m sure someone knows who the community decorator is. Then, you can go to that person, thank them for putting on the lights and let them know the cost of repairing the cover.
