Police On Lookout For Missing Mechanical Gorilla Head
Appleton Officers Say Thief Had To Work Hard To Remove Head

Appleton police say area residents should be on the lookout for a gorilla head.
Police say someone took the head off a 6-foot mechanical gorilla mannequin that was located in the parking lot of Balloon Magic. It disappeared between 10 a.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Friday.
Balloon Magic Manager Phil Dubois (du-BOYS) says someone had to bend the chained gorilla over and really tug hard to get the sewn-on head off. He says that gorilla had been there for five or six years.
Balloon Magic is offering a $1,000 reward for the head's return and information leading to the conviction of the thief. The head's value is estimated at $1,500.
The gorilla advertises the fact the business offers gorilla grams -- a gorilla delivering a message along with balloons.
