Abominable Snowman Theft

Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 4th, 2012


The Cleveland Sun published the following notice in their “Police Blotter” section at the end of 2011.

THEFT, BRIDGESIDE DRIVE: A resident called police on Dec. 22 at 12:19 a.m. to report that a light-up Abominable Snowman was stolen from their yard. In its place, the culprits left a chicken decoration that did not belong there. An officer reported taking the errant chicken into custody and transporting it to the police station.


Apparently, the Yeti is still missing.

Perhaps we could suggest another design for this neighborhood’s future Abominable Snowman displays:

    Re: Abominable Snowman Theft;

    Does the following refer to this event?

    from Desmond Morris quotes ~

    “…it has been shown off, concealed, styled, cut, trimmed, extended, straightened, waved, put up, let down, colored and decorated in a thousand ways.”

    “We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.”

    “Clearly, then, the city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.”

    (Did the author of The Naked Ape foresee this Cleveland crime?)

    “There are eight million stories in The Naked City. This has been one of them.”
