BRIMFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police in one Massachusetts town are on the hunt for Bigfoot.

A statue of the legendary ape creature was stolen Wednesday night from outside a home in the town of Brimfield, a small town 20 miles east of Springfield.

The Worcester Telegram reports the roadside, Bigfoot-sized statue has lately been outfitted with signs reminding people to observe social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus outbreak. It’s even sported a face covering.

Bigfoot’s owner has offered a $200 reward for the statue, which he says has a value of $2,400.
