Where's Thurman?

Other crimes included the theft of an 8-foot-tall Thurman Thomas tree carving from a parking lot outside the stadium overnight Sunday.

The weirdest crime may have been committed by some bold thieves apparently armed with a hefty truck who stole the tree carving of the former Buffalo Bills running back.

The tree statue, part of the Carvings for a Cause initiative carved from trees lost in the October Surprise snowstorm of 2006, was unveiled late Sunday morning at a tailgate party in a stadium parking lot across from the scoreboard.

It was last seen after the game Sunday but discovered missing Monday when organizers planned to take it to Sahlen Sports Park.

“I’ve never had anybody steal a carving,” Carvings for a Cause founder Therese Forton-Barnes said Monday. “They weigh anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds.”

Forton-Barnes was stunned by the theft.

“It would take a lot of strong people and a flatbed truck,” she said. “I don’t understand it. It’s a mystery. I’m perplexed by the whole thing.”

I could understand if the statue's helmet went missing, but the whole thing??

At the risk of getting hondo's hackles up [/crossthread], there used to be a huge wooden statue of Bear Bryant that some guy carved with a chainsaw at University Mall in Tuscaloosa.

The guy was interviewed for the Alabama fan magazine and was asked "how do you do what you do?"

His response: "I just start cutting, and cut off everything that don't look like Coach Bryant."

So Thurman did what the Bills are planning to do?
