A huge stuffed polar bear has gone missing from a resort in northern Alberta and police are asking the public to keep an eye out for it.

RCMP say the 500-pound bruin prepared by a taxidermist disappeared from the Lily Lake Resort in Sturgeon County, north of Edmonton, following a break-and-enter that was reported to police Jan. 22.

Const. Kelsey Davidge says the resort had similar thefts last August, when two stuffed raccoons were swiped.
