S. WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – For three years, a trio of skeletons sat here on North Cedar Crest Boulevard. But the band of bones was broken up on Sunday, when police say one of them was stolen.
The homeowner says watch out or your display could be next.
“They’re my buddies. I moved out here, we live next to the cornfields, so I figured, let’s put some skeletons out here,” explained homeowner Terri Zenz.
And for three years, Terri Zenz says everything was fine. The Skeleton Sisters became a landmark in the neighborhood.
“Everyone says hi to him. Everybody says hi to my skeletons. Everyone blows their horn as they pass. Everyone enjoys my skeletons,” Zenz said.
But on Sunday morning, right around 7:30, Terry says she saw a black car outside with rainbow lights on both sides of the windshield. When Terri came outside to investigate, she found that someone had cut the zip ties and a skeleton was missing.
“My skeleton. They stole my skeleton,” she said. “I heard the car pull off and by the time I came outside, my skeleton was gone and so was the car.”
Terri reported the theft to police and is now warning others to keep an eye on their displays.
“They’re hot right now. Everybody wants a skeleton, and they’re expensive,” Zenz said.
Terri isn’t one to crack skulls. She just wants her skeletons reunited.
“There’s always good in the world somewhere,” she said.
Terri is offering a cash reward for the return of her skeleton. If you know who stole the skeleton, call the South Whitehall Police Department.
