Where's Gumby? Delaware man wants to know

ARDEN, Del. - March 7, 2011

Philip Fisher of Arden, Delaware says for the past 12 years he has been creating lawn sculptures and placed them in front of his home.

Since September of last year, a Gumby statue has been waving at drivers as they passed by, but now he's gone.

"He's kind of special. A lot of people on Harvey Road use him as a reference point; the Claymont Fire Company, I think, uses him as a reference point," Fisher said.

Gumby is made of steel (not clay) and is around 4.5' high and weighs 90 pounds.

Fisher says the value of Gumby is around $2,500 to $3,000.

Delaware State Police are investigating, but Fisher says he is willing to give a reward himself.
