Molino Family Searching For Stolen Bears
April 8, 2014
A Molino family is asking for the public’s help after their bears were stolen from their yard in the 3500 block of Highway 97 in Molino sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning.
The bears were one-of-a-kind chainsaw carvings made of juniper wood, worth about $1,300. One stands upright about five-feet tall; the second is on all fours and is about two-feet tall and four-feet long.
The homeowner said a white male in a teal pickup truck pulled into the family’s yard and tried to pick up one of the bears a few weeks ago.
“By the time I got downstairs he was gone. They are very heavy and would have taken at least two people pick them up,” she said. She did snap a picture of the truck.
Anyone with information on the missing bears is asked to call Crimestoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

Farm hill mom! Your correct! I know that individual that you are referring too. I called the next day and told the sheriffs office his full name and dob and also told them
About the red car but they haven’t picked him up yet… According to the jail view
Bubba, You do not know for sure this truck is from Farm Hill! I think this truck belongs to a guy in Cottage Hill lives on Eden Lane. It does look like the guy on Annie Bell Ct. for sure. He also drives a little red car.
Plus, if you know who stole these bears and do nothing you can be charged because it’s a felony.
It should be easy enough to customize a search of the DMV database for that make/model/year/color and start making contacts.
I hope this/these idiots do not panic and attempt to dispose of the evidence. Leave them at a place where LE can retrieve them as they are the product of someones talent and hard work, not to mention the owners cash.
Slow down and think and then return the bears.
There is a truck that I seen on the George Stone votec and fits this description. Has a loud exhaust.
I hate seeing people riding around with empty trailers. I see the same ones a lot myself. Makes you wonder if they are out looking for things to take! I know those carving’s are worth a lot I have a cousin that does them. I hope you find them!
I’ve seen a truck like that with a trailer like that on Mackenzie Rd in cottage hill . Always on Sundays. I hope that family gets their bears back. Very smart getting a picture while they could.
I hope they are able to find these bears, that was always the highlight of my drive on hwy 97… I missed seeing them today driving back from Molino, made me sad that people will just drive up and take someone’s property.. People work hard to buy and others just take.. They won’t be able to display them anywhere because people will know they stole them, just put them back where they belong….
I personally know the owners of these bears. They just had their house built and are almost finished with everything to make their home complete, and for some reason I want to know why somebody would want to steal from somebody’s home. especially theirs, when they are the nicest people I know. Me and my boyfriend are doing all we can to figure out who this is, because they spent a lot of money on these bears. Crime needs to stop!!!!!!!!!!!
this truck is from the farmhill area!!!!!!
I can bearly believe this. Are those statues considered bear necessities or just bear bones yard ornaments? Hopefully the thief will not be able to bear his guilt and will return the statues in a bear minimum of time. Otherwise law enforcement will be bearing down on him.
Take the Joe Biden approach “If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun”. I think that would work better than the camara.
We probably shouldn’t be telling the thieves where they can get some more.
When you find the culprits, check to see if they have my Easter and Halloween decorations. I stopped decorating, because the decorations all disappear.
Glad they got a picture. Hopefully it helps lead to arrests.
This truck should be easy to spot. Step up folks or your yard could be next..if they steal bears they will steal anything else too.seem like brave thieves to me
There is a family that just built a house on 97 and tghey have two bears out front of there house they need to watch out they might be next
Nothing more despicable than a thief. Hopefully they catch this crew of bear nappers!
