In the conversation, Ralph Spence was told "that Sasquatch was chilling out in an open field near Pedretti and Mayhew," the alert states. "Sasquatch is back home and appears to be in good health. During his absence, Sasquatch was given a nice sweater and Cincinnati Reds ball cap."



In addition to giving the statue some new attire, whoever took it also left behind a note for the owner. It read in part: "Squatchy only required two of our members for transit. Sincerely, The Body Building Bandits. P.S. Happy Holidays."



The Spence family found Sasquatch at a flea market for $250. When it went missing, they suspected more than one person was involved. Ralph Spence said it took five teenagers to put it in his yard when his sons first brought it home.
