Bigfoot Bandit Steals Sasquatch Sculpture

I love when stories like this make the news. It’s great blog fodder, and is always a good indicator of when the press is experiencing a slow news week. The L.A. Times is reporting that someone has made off with a Bigfoot statue from a couple’s driveway in Vermont. Read on to learn the chilling details of this egregious crime…

So much cooler than a garden gnome...

Authorities on the East Coast are searching for Bigfoot. No, really.

Vermont State Police are hunting for a Sasquatch sculpture reportedly swiped from a Westford couple’s driveway over the weekend.

The couple purchased the 8-pound, 15-inch-tall Yeti from a SkyMall magazine.

Police say the statue is valued at around $100, the Associated Press reported, and the owners would be satisfied if it was simply returned to their front lawn.

In addition to police efforts, the couple is using community network Front Porch Forum to search for the sculpture.

Anyone who spots the missing Sasquatch need not approach the beast, but instead should contact the Vermont State Police barracks in Williston.

I’m not trying to belittle having something stolen, but when I first saw the headline for this article, I though someone had stolen some huge, 8-foot tall sculpture of Bigfoot. It sucks that it was stolen, but I just feel like even if it were stolen from me, I’d rather the police use their time more efficiently…
