POLICE ARE SCRAMBLING!!!

WHO POACHED HUMPTY?!?!

PETERBOROUGH – All the king's horses and all the king's men have been scrambling to crack the case of the missing eggman, and now the Peterborough Players are asking the public to help return Humpty Dumpty to his favorite wall.
The Players' Humpty Dumpty costume, designed and made by hand for the theater company's 2007 production of "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland," was last seen walking away with the Cheshire Cat on May 16, during Peterborough's Children and the Arts Festival parade.
Lisa Murray, spokeswoman for Peterborough Players, said the theater company breaks out many of its costumes, including Humpty, during the annual arts festival and allows children to try them on.
The costumes were then supposed to be worn by actors in the parade, but Murray said it appears someone outside the company got their hands on the eggman.
"I saw him walking away with the Cheshire Cat when the parade ended," Murray said.
She assumed that Humpty and his pal were just caught up in the post-parade chaos. However, when Humpty missed his cue for a performance scheduled at noon, Murray knew some bad eggs might have hatched a plot to beat it out of town with the costume.
The police were called in to crack the case, and were able to track down the Cheshire Cat costume, returned by a 15-year-old teenager from Temple, Murray said.
"He was rather sheepish," Murray said.

But when the trail to Humpty Dumpty turned cold, the directors of Peterborough Players started to worry that the eggman's goose was cooked.
"We'd really just like to get the costume back," Murray said.
The company has declared that no one will fry for absconding with the costume.
"We won't prosecute or press charges," she said. "We'll even arrange for a drop-off at an undisclosed location and offer amnesty in exchange for Humpty's return."
Since Humpty's great fall, Peterborough Players have been hard at work preparing for their production of "I Remember Mama," which premiers this weekend.
Anyone with information about Humpty Dumpty is asked to contact Lisa Murray at lmurray@peterboroughplayers.org.
