You've probably seen them around in area stores: life-sized cutouts of the Green Bay police chief looking very stern as he warns people against the evils — and the risks — of shoplifting.

Well, some dastardly thief accepted it as a challenge. He walked off with one of the cardboard cutouts of the chief.

Police have a sense of humor about it

"No demands have been received from the kidnappers at this point," reported Lt. Tom Buchmann on the official "attempt to locate" notification he put out to the evening patrol officers. He helpfully included a photo of the chief, in case some of the younger officers weren't quite sure who or what they were looking for.

No doubt Smith was flattered a thief might want a replica of his handsome face and debonair figure for his very own, but he expressed it humbly: "I figure the cutout is posted at a shooting range somewhere, or perhaps lining a birdcage in someone's house."

Retail theft is down 5% this year tho.
