Thief of Dr Seuss "Lorax" Apprehended in Montana

A Grinch who stole a beloved statue from the widow of Dr. Seuss in California more than a year ago remorsefully turned himself in to the Bozeman Police Department last week.

Detective Robert Vanuka said he didn't quite know what to think when a 22-year-old man came into the police station on Aug. 15 and said he stole the Lorax.

Was he talking about the beloved 1971 children's book? Or maybe a DVD copy of the 2012 movie?

“No, I took the Lorax statue,” the man told Vanuka.
