GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A massive pumpkin has gone missing from a front yard of a home in suburban Flint, Mich. — and its owner suspects some mighty strong thieves.

The Flint Journal reported Thursday the 450-pound pumpkin had been on display for only a day at the Grand Blanc Township home of Bill Teer. He spent five months growing the Atlantic Giant.

Teer is offering $200 for the pumpkin’s return. He figures someone must have seen it — or at least the small team required to steal the colossal squash.
