Christopher Gulick says someone managed to steal a 200-pound, brightly colored log sculpture of Mighty Mouse from his backyard Tuesday night. The sculpture, which was a gift from another artist, is about 5 feet tall and painted bright yellow, blue, red and black.

The Wichita Eagle reports Gulick estimates the sculpture has been on his back porch for about 25 years. It’s one of many sculptures that Gulick, known locally for his kinetic mobile sculptures, has in his backyard.

Gulick says he would probably be mad about the theft if it wasn’t so stupid and funny at the same time. He says he suspects the thieves are suffering from a severe hangover.

Anyone with information about Mighty Mouse is asked to call Wichita police.
