What if someone took it, and weakened it so that it wouldn't be detected, but so it would break in half in the middle of a game? I know, it breaks the fundamental rule of mascots, you never unmask the mascot. But funny to think of. I'm sure all sorts of fun things could be done with it though.
Now, if someone could just recover the slab of bacon that would be great. It wouldn't be theft to take it back, as it remains stolen property.
