Whoever stole the stand-ups of Johnathan and Andy out of the crab pot at the Time Bandit Store probably thought it was just a prank. However, it happens to be a felony, since they were worth about $800. It cost almost $400 just to ship them up here.
The theft has been reported to the police. The stand-ups can be returned in good condition and the lock and chain replaced now without any other consequences.
However, we are offering a $100 reward for information leading to the arrest of whomever took them. If they are not returned before someone responds for the reward, having a felony on your record will make it difficult for jobs, education or other plans you might have for your life. So, make it easy on yourself and return them before you are arrested.
