北卡羅來納州公司門前6英尺高的大腳雕像被偷

Deputies in North Carolina are hunting for the brazen thief or thieves who snatched a 6-foot-tall, 180-pound fiberglass resin Sasquatch statue from a landscaping business nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

北卡羅來納州的警員正在追捕一個厚顏無恥的小偷，他們從藍脊山脈的一個景觀美化企業(yè)手中搶走了一座6英尺高、180磅重的玻璃纖維樹脂薩斯夸奇雕像。

Terry Brewer, who co-owns Mountaineer Landscaping in Linville, said the unorthodox town landmark was stolen sometime late Friday or early Saturday. The creature simply known as “Bigfoot” to Brewer and customers alike had stood watch outside the business for the past three to five years, she said.

林維爾登山家景觀公司的共同所有人特里·布魯爾說，這座非傳統(tǒng)的城鎮(zhèn)地標在星期五晚間或星期六清晨的某個時候被盜。她說，在過去的三到五年里，布魯爾和顧客們都把這種動物簡稱為“大腳怪”。

“When they came in Saturday morning, it was gone,” Brewer told The Post. “I was in shock, I never thought about it being taken. It’s safe around here and we’ve never had any problems before.”

布魯爾對郵報說：“當他們星期六早上來的時候，它就不見了。”“我當時很震驚，我從沒想過會被偷走。這里很安全，我們以前從來沒有遇到過任何問題。”

Brewer acknowledged that the statue — which looks eerily similar to the Bigfoot named Harry in the 1987 cult classic “Harry and the Hendersons” — is an attention-getter, but it remains a mystery to her as to why anyone would target the family-run business.

布魯爾承認，這座雕像與1987年邪教經(jīng)典影片《哈利與亨德森》中的大腳怪哈利長得驚人地相似，這座雕像很吸引人的注意力，但為什么會有人把矛頭指向這家家族企業(yè)，對她來說仍然是個謎。

“I just think it was a prank and hopefully they’ll bring it back before they get in trouble,” Brewer said, suspecting that perhaps a sorority or fraternity at nearby Appalachian State University or East Tennessee State University is behind the heist. “I think he’s going to homecoming.”

布魯爾說：“我只是覺得這是一個惡作劇，希望他們能在遇到麻煩之前把它帶回來。”他懷疑附近阿巴拉契亞州立大學、或東田納西州立大學的女生聯(lián)誼會或兄弟會可能是這次搶劫的幕后黑手。“我想他要回家了。”

Brewer said she bought the specially made statue from a company for $3,000 several years ago and wondered how someone could be so bold as to swipe the Sasquatch from directly in front of her business.

布魯爾說，她幾年前以3000美元的價格從一家公司購買了這尊特別制作的雕像，她想知道怎么會有人如此大膽地從她的公司正前方偷走它。

“Why would anybody take our Bigfoot?” she wondered. “It would be so clumsy for them to get it and I don’t think anybody would need him other than us. He really brings in a lot of people for us, people stopping for selfies with him and they look forward to it.”

“為什么會有人拿走我們的大腳怪?“她想知道。“對他們來說，得到它是如此的笨拙，我認為除了我們，沒有人會需要他。他真的為我們帶來了很多人，人們一起停下來和他自拍，他們很期待。”

Brewer said she intends to let deputies from the Avery County Sheriff’s Office keep trying to track down the stolen Sasquatch through the weekend before she starts making arrangements to replace it. She’s already contacted her insurance company, she said.

布魯爾說，她打算讓艾弗里縣警長辦公室的代表們在周末繼續(xù)追查被盜的大腳野人，然后再開始安排更換。她說，她已經(jīng)聯(lián)系了保險公司。

“If it was a sorority thing, maybe they’ll say we had fun and return him,” Brewer said. “Hopefully, they’ll bring it back before they get in trouble.”

布魯爾說:“如果是女生聯(lián)誼會的活動，也許他們會說我們玩得很開心，然后把他送回來。”“希望他們能在遇到麻煩之前把它帶回來。”

Avery County Sheriff Kevin Frye said his deputies have gotten at least 100 calls regarding the “iconic” statue since posting about the theft on the department’s Facebook page Saturday.

艾弗里縣治安官凱文弗萊說，自從星期六在警局的facebook網(wǎng)頁上公布了盜竊案以來，他的副手們已經(jīng)接到至少100個關于這座“標志性”雕像的電話。

“We are chasing down several leads at the moment,” Frye told The Post. “But so far, we’ve not been able to find the Sasquatch in any of the locations that we’ve checked out.”

弗萊在接受《華盛頓郵報》采訪時表示:“我們目前正在尋找?guī)讞l線索。”“但到目前為止，我們還沒能在我們檢查過的任何地點找到大腳野人。”
