The plywood cutout of a sheriff's office patrol car along Spring Hill Drive was stolen sometime early Sunday. http://oas.lee.net/RealMedia/ads/Creatives/default/empty.gif
The owner of the cutout, Rick Pyburn, said he called the Benton County Sheriff's Office on Sunday morning after realizing it was gone.
"I called them to say I was reporting a stolen patrol car," Pyburn said.
They got a kick out of that, he said, because the sheriff's office knows about him and his cutout patrol car.
Despite his humor, Pyburn, who is making more cutouts, said this was the first one he made. "This one I wanted to keep."
Pyburn made the cutout last fall to get drivers to slow down and "it worked," he said. "We've had a lot of fun with it."
The next cutout he puts out will most likely have to be chained or bolted down, "and that's too bad," he said.
The cutout was made by enlarging a photo on vinyl and then posting it on plywood. It was put up in some bushes along Spring Hill Drive on a straight stretch past the Spring Hill Country Club.
