Thieves have stolen a sausage from a butcher in Queensland, Australia.But in a meaty twist - it was the 40-kilogram fibreglass advertising sign from the butchery's roof.
At two metres tall (almost seven feet), a giant sausage is not the sort of thing that would be too easy to hide in someone's pocket. The sausage's owner, Mark Nolan, has received ransom calls, but the sausage thieves say that his offer of 10 kilograms of sausages was not good enough.
Nolan believes it's a hoax call, since they wanted to meet up at a tourist landmark The Big Orange.
Brisbane radio station MMM has offered a $500 reward for the sausage's safe return. Meanwhile, it's a likely bet that the owner has garnered enough extra business to pay for its replacement anyway!
