A 12-foot skeleton has gone missing from a yard in northwest Austin, Texas.

A security camera caught the theft in action, the white SUV parking in front of the home before the driver gets out, and calmly stuffs the entire skeleton into the back of her vehicle before driving away.


Grazia Ruskin, president of the Oak Shadows Condominiums HOA, told Fox 7, "We have a very blatant, no trespassing sign at the entrance of our street. There's only one way in, and it's the same way out. So we were struck with shock when we learned that our neighbor's large 12-foot skeleton had been stolen in broad daylight."

Those skeletons don't come cheap, and now the neighborhood association is asking for any information on the whereabouts of the skeleton.

Ruskin continued saying, "We have not involved APD at this point. My neighbor did not file a police report. I guess, you know, our thinking, her thinking and then our thinking at large is they're very strained, constrained with their resources right now."

The incident, and security footage, has gone viral, and after being made aware of it, the creator of the skeleton, Lance Allen, found a replacement for the owner.

It will be shipped out soon.
