Not Even a Pizza Man Statue is Safe Nowadays

This theft must have happened fairly early in the evening on Saturday. The Facebook post announcing the theft went out Saturday night at 8 p.m.

The pizza man statue was a metal pipe structure of a human form holding a large pepperoni pizza. It was cool. Unfortunately, thanks to someone with far too much time on their hands and not enough to do, the statue is no more.
