Pumpkin thief!

cover of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie BrownLadies and gentlemen, shut down the Michigan borders. A 450 pound pumpkin has gone missing.

Bill Teer of Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, spent five months growing a great pumpkin of Charlie Brown proportions. It was stolen from his yard during the night last Thursday, as his wife discovered when she left for work at 5:30am. He's offering a $200 reward and hopes someone will find it.

"You can't miss the thing," says Teer. No joke!

We're still waiting for a series of ransom notes with a couple of seeds enclosed in each letter. Truly, we wish Mr. and Mrs. Teer luck and hope it's just someone playing a practical joke. Perhaps a giant jack-o-lantern will appear on their doorstep on Halloween!
