This is how it started; for years, Lowell Miller and his wife, Sandy, had an 8-foot-tall mechanical gorilla in front of their store in Maine.

Then, over Labor Day weekend, somebody stole the gorilla.

Then, the guy who built the gorilla, Ken Booth of the Gorilla Robot Factory in Akron, Ohio…

I know what you may be thinking…does this thing really work?? Can you really put it in front of your store or business and instantly gain the
public’s attention??? Yes!!! They really work. Our hand-built, mechanical characters are the perfect employee! Very tough! They are made for this
job…built for it…they don’t need a break , they don’t get tired, they don’t call off sick, they are always on time. Day in and day out, they never
quit, till the job is done! They work for you, faithfully, giving you and your business 100% every day!!!

…Ken Booth of the Gorilla Robot Factory in Akron, Ohio, put a video up on YouTube announcing the theft and a reward.

As always, press pause, in a stealthy manner, on the music player, located in the side bar before playing the YouTube.

Then, the guy that stole the gorilla, did his own YouTube.

Now, the gorilla has turned up in a cornfield in Vermont. From Breitbart/AP.

Now the gorilla—named “Seemore,” as in “See More at Sandy’s Sales”—has turned up in a cornfield at Swanton, Vt.

Sandy Miller intends to press charges.

“What really upset me was the YouTube video. He was so nonchalant,” she said Tuesday. “You don’t steal other people’s property and take it out of state.”

She said her husband’s old truck is in no shape to make the 750-mile roundtrip to St. Albans, Vt., where the gorilla is being held by state police. But she said offers were pouring in from people willing to assist.

That’s not funny, stealing an old dude’s 8-foot-tall gorilla and leaving it in a cornfield.

Well, it’s kind of funny. Actually, it would make a good made-for-TV movie.
