Stolen goods from Joyland park found with Louie the Clown

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police found several items stolen from the closed Joyland amusement park in the same home where they recovered Louie the Clown.

Police last week returned to a home where the iconic clown statue was recovered and found items as ghosts and tombstones from Whacky Shack and Porky the Paper Eater.

The Wichita Eagle reports a police report lists $26,100 in property taken from the amusement park between 2006 and 2008. Wichita police say some of the items have been recovered but others are still missing.

Louie the Clown greeted visitors for years before the park closed. The statue had been missing for nearly a decade when it was found Feb. 17 at the home of 39-year-old Damian Mayes, a convicted sex offender who once worked at the park.
