Have You Seen This Duck? Duck Travels 2,500 Miles, Gets Stolen In Tullamore

Thief in Tullamore – you should be ashamed of yourself.

A giant magnetic duck that has so far travelled over 2,500 miles on a car bonnet has been stolen in the County Offaly town.

Have you seen this duck? It was stolen in Tullamore earlier this month

The bereft owner of the duck, which lights up, posted a series of pictures on image-sharing site Imgur in an attempt to be reunited with his little yellow mascot, saying: "The duck usually travels on this small red car. Strong magnets keep it in place, even at motorway speeds. A small cable underneath (not shown) is ready to catch it in the unlikely event that it falls off."

You light up my life... The duck's inner workings

The duck has travelled, without incident, through England, Wales, California and Nevada – but his Irish travels were rudely interrupted when an opportunistic Offaly thief decided they wanted the duck for themselves…

In happier times - driving in California

Have you seen this duck? And if you’re in Offaly… everyone’s a suspect…
