Donkey’s Place Appeals for Return of Stolen Walrus Baculum

The owner is seeking its return without involving police.

Overview

  • Security video shows one of three patrons wrapping the decades-old display bone in a scarf and walking out after paying.
  • Staff posted a New Year’s Eve TikTok featuring images of the suspected customer and a plea to bring the item back.
  • The bar says the man paid by credit card, but it has not filed a police report or contacted him directly.
  • The bone’s provenance is unknown, and it long served as a conversation piece at the 80-year-old Camden spot highlighted by Anthony Bourdain.
  • As of early January, the item remains missing, with most reports placing the theft on Dec. 29 despite at least one outlet listing a different date.
