Someone in Tyler, TX, absconded with a 42-foot tall inflatable snowman from a local tree farm. The owner of Dixon Farms said that “Frosty†is worth about $10,000. He was last seen wearing a red hat and scarf, and had a pipe in his mouth.
Officials fear the worst, as several blow-up dolls from Naughty Novelties in Madison, Wisconsin were also stolen. As far as we know, there is no database of Plastiphiles or plushophiles to check for repeat offenders, or those who might be living in the area.
