Old Orchard Beach Police say they’ve recovered a stolen mushroom, albeit damaged beyond repair.
“OK Facebook detectives,” the cops say in their social-media page. “We have a picture of our masked mushroom thief.”
“To the Oompa-Loompa who took the mushroom from the candy shop, please return it,” they added. “Willy Wonka has more than enough 4-foot mushrooms of his own.”
Facebooker Jason DeFelice said the clown who stole the shroom “seems like a really fungi.”
Give DeFelice a prize.
“You really have to have something wrong with you to seal a candy shop’s prop,” noted Demarie Awbrey.
“And to our masked Oompa-Loompa, remember that your picture on the internet will stay around longer than one of Willy Wonka’s Everlasting Gobstoppers,” the police said in an actual press release.
“Oompa-Loompa … Doopity Dee please won’t you help to identify me,” they added.
