Stolen Bigfoot statue found in Washington state - but his feet are missing
The Associated PressPublished: January 26, 2007
FEDERAL WAY, Washington: An imposing, wood-carved Bigfoot statue stolen
from outside a doctor's office has been recovered - minus its big feet.
An anonymous tip led police to the 400-pound (180-kilogram) sculpture
beneath a pile of debris in a backyard about a block from where it was
snatched Monday. Two people confessed and could face theft charges.
The likeness of the legendary ape-like creature of the Northwest used to
stand 8 feet (2.4 meters) high, but its 16-inch (40.6-centimeter)-long
feet had been sawed off at the ankles, leaving it 18 inches (45.7
centimeters) shorter.
"I'm glad we got him before they cut him anymore," said chiropractor Tom
Payne, who had the statue made 5 1/2 years ago and planted at the foot of
his secluded driveway as a landmark for patients. "We're relieved to have
him back at the office."
The statue was recovered Thursday. The suspects, a man and a boy, offered
no motive, police spokeswoman Stacy Flores said.
Bigfoot is back in place outside Payne's office in this small town between
Seattle and Tacoma, and Payne plans to get him some new feet.
"I'm sure I can find a chain saw sculptor that might feel up to the task,"
he said.

Finally, Federal Way, WA, makes headlines across the nation and overseas!
Nothing that interesting happens here. I've seen the statue many times. It
is a fixture here, easily seen from a major byway. Poor thing's missing
its feet now!
This AP story was carried in the International Herald Tribune from France
and in many major papers across the US.
At 85,000 population, though, I'd argue that we're not a 'small town.'
6th largest in the state, in fact.

You call this news, somebody cutting off the feet of bigfoot ?
If they catch a live bigfoot, now THAT would be news.
If somebody catches Bush saying something intelligent, now
THAT would be news.

The day Guernon started worshipping the image of Bush instead
of Nostradamus, now THAT was news !!!

one of envy??

Well....sorrreeeee! If you don't care about our wonderful wooden Sasquatch
down here, nose boogers to you! You're jealous in boring Vancouver because
you don't have a Sasquatch statue.
He's kinda cute and cuddly, too.
