Authorities are on the hunt for an Ohio man believed to be behind the theft of a beloved statue of the famed Jersey Devil that was stolen from outside of a restaurant over the weekend. The odd case reportedly began Friday night when a sticky-fingered miscreant made off with the sizeable wooden piece that had stood outside of Lucille's Luncheonette in the community of Stafford, New Jersey for the last six years. The statue had become something of a popular attraction in the town as visitors frequently posed with pictures of the mysterious cryptid and the restaurant even sells shirts which declare ""I ate with the Jersey Devil." However, on Saturday morning, the owners of the restaurant were stunned to discover that the piece had vanished.
