Police are on the lookout for a plump pig sculpture that was pilfered from a Detroit suburb.

The $6,000-plus sculpture titled "Cochon Rouge" by artist Sophie Marie has been leased to the Garden City Downtown Development Authority for two years.

Police tell The Associated Press on Tuesday morning that there was no update on the search.

The pig also referred to as "Willy" may have been taken as a prank. The Downtown Development Authority says it will take the pig back "no questions asked."
