The Unipiper, a well-known fixture of "weird" Portland, had 100 freshly delivered shirts stolen from his front porch Thursday morning, he said in a Facebook post.

Also known as Brian Kidd, the Unipiper has become a mainstay of Portland's quirky culture, bobbling around on a unicycle, usually outfitted in a kilt and a Darth Vader mask, spouting flames from the bagpipes he plays.

On Thursday morning, Kidd wrote on Facebook, a delivery person dropped off a package of "locally printed Unipiper shirts sporting an all-new design today, but the courier failed to follow my delivery instructions and consequently they were IMMEDIATELY STOLEN from my front porch" in the North Tabor neighborhood.

Video included with Kidd's post shows two people eyeing the house from the street. One, dressed in blue jeans and white tank top, wheels a trash can through the gate and up to the front porch where he presumably takes the package and wheels it away in the garbage can, closing the gate behind him.

"If anyone recognizes either of these jerkweeds, please drop me a line, because I just have to ask WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING TO DO WITH 100 UNIPIPER SHIRTS?!?!" Kidd wrote. "Seriously, I have a hard enough time selling these myself!

"And if you actually see somebody wearing one, snap a photo. I'd love to know where they end up!" Kidd added.

Unipiper Tshirt Theft - Please Help Identify These People! Please share so we can catch these criminals! I was really hoping to show off my new locally printed Unipiper shirts sporting an all-new design today, but the courier failed to follow my delivery instructions and consequently they were IMMEDIATELY STOLEN from my front porch. 😠 If anyone recognizes either of these jerkweeds, please drop me a line, because I just have to ask WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING TO DO WITH 100 UNIPIPER SHIRTS?!?! Seriously, I have a hard enough time selling these myself! 😂 And if you actually see somebody wearing one, snap a photo. I'd love to know where they end up!
