“Squatchy,” as he’s known, had been missing for several days. The statue's owner, Ralph Spence, didn’t panic, but he wanted his family’s favorite concrete friend back.
"My two youngest boys bought it," Spence told Fox19.
"It started out like a joke and, actually, my wife was kind of upset about it at first, but after we had it awhile we'd dress it up for the holidays and stuff," he continued.
It wasn’t just the Spence family who were upset. Ralph said neighbors were equally concerned because they too enjoyed dressing the concrete creature up in seasonal attire.
Spence was relieved when he got a call saying Squatchy “was chilling out in an open field” nearby.

Police and the family found the statue wearing “a nice sweater and Cincinnati Reds ball cap.”
Spence figured it took a bunch of people to carry off the piece, but an attached note seemed to indicate otherwise.
"Squatchy only required two of our members for transit. Sincerely, The Body Building Bandits. P.S. Happy Holidays," it read.
Relieved the “kidnapping” ended well, Delhi Township police released a statement: "Sasquatch has been reunited with his owner, and it feels so good.”
The statement went on to say Squatchy “appears to be in good health.”
A Christmas miracle, or just a good old prank? Uou decide.
