Bigfoot costume missing from vacant house in Erie's Old Town
You know it's more proof that we're edging towards the destruction of the world in the year 2012 when people start to steel each others Bigfoot costumes. A homeowner, who is trying to rent the home, discovered that someone had entered the home and stole a Bigfoot costume worth about 120 dollars. Erie police Lt. Lee Mathis said the burglar had also removed an undisclosed length of copper pipe leading to the water heater from the homeowner's property.

Erie police don't have a description of the burglar who struck a vacant Old Town home last week, but there's a distinct possibility the suspect could bear a strong resemblance to bigfoot.
Police responded to a home in the 100 block of Briggs Street at about 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, after receiving a report that the vacant property had been burglarized.
The homeowner, who is trying to rent the home, discovered last week that someone had entered the home and removed an undisclosed length of copper pipe leading to the water heater.
Also missing: a bigfoot costume.
Erie police Lt. Lee Mathis said the total value of the stolen property has yet to be determined.
"The bigfoot costume was worth about $120, but we don't have an estimated value on the pipe, yet," Mathis said. "That's a pretty common thing for people to steal -- the pipe, not the costume. We won't have a total value on the pipe until someone comes in to replace it."

I didn't do it! Sounds like someone will either attempt to sell it as the original Patty costume, make new bigfoot videos or perhaps they want to wear it and jump out in front of cars!
