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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldis-novelty-baubles) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Inflatable Theft:** Opportunity for the development of theft prevention technologies specifically designed for inflatable objects. - **Database Development:** The need for a comprehensive database to track stolen inflatables and potential offenders in the novelty industry. - **Inflatable Security:** Demand for innovative inflatable security measures to prevent theft and vandalism in public and private spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Novelty:** Opportunity for the novelty industry to invest in theft deterrent solutions for inflatable products. - **Security:** Opportunity for the security industry to develop specialized systems to protect inflatable objects from theft and damage. - **Data Management:** Opportunity for the development of a database management system tailored specifically for tracking stolen inflatables and related offenders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Holiday Icon Inflatables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grinch-decor.md) - [Boxed Wine Lawn Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawn-inflatablecab.md) - [Exaggerated Holiday Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-all-the-way.md) - [Adorable Inflatable Halloween Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemmy-industries.md) - [Oversized Baking Mascot Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-doughboy-installation.md) - [Larger-Than-Life Candy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15foot-inflatable.md) - [Festive Rooftop Parking Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parking-space-for-santa.md) - [30-Foot Tall Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megasize-roxie.md) - [Mischievous Gift Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grinch.md)
