MOUNT VERNON, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – The Mount Vernon Police Department (MVP) is asking the public for help in tracking down a wooden bear with decades of sentimental value.
MVP said on Tuesday that the bear was stolen from its home on South 28th Street.
The bear was hand carved by the owner’s late husband from a tree that he cut down and given to her as a Christmas present. Since then, she’s decorated the bear for the holiday season every year for the past 30 years.
Police say the bear stands roughly 4′ tall and weighs 75 lbs. It was last seen wearing a red, white and blue hat with a matching scarf.
Anyone with information on its whereabouts is asked to call Mount Vernon Police.
