500-Pound Taxidermy Polar Bear Stolen in Canadian Heist

The Lily Lake Resort, victim of a previous theft, had cancelled security patrols due to extreme cold on the night of the theft.

A 500-pound taxidermy polar bear was stolen from the Lily Lake Resort near Edmonton, Canada during a cold snap in early January.
The resort, which typically runs 24-hour security, had cancelled patrols on the night of the theft due to extreme cold.
This is not the first theft from the resort; two taxidermy raccoons were stolen in August 2023.
The total cost of the stolen taxidermy animals is estimated at $26,000.
Police have asked the public to be alert for the bear appearing for sale online.
