I mean . . . the cops had to see this coming, right?
The police in Green Bay, Wisconsin came up with an idea to scare shoplifters earlier this year . . . they put LIFE-SIZED CUTOUTS of the chief of police in stores.
And maybe it stopped some thefts, because they say shoplifting is down 5%. But it certainly didn't stop ONE theft.
Because on Sunday night . . . someone stole the CUTOUT from a convenience store.
The cops are trying to track down the thief.
As for the chief, he has a theory of where his cutout might be, quote, "I figure [it's] posted at a shooting range somewhere, or perhaps lining a birdcage."
(Here's a picture of a few of the cutouts.)
