EASTPOINTE, Mich. – Police in suburban Detroit are looking for a 6-foot-tall glass of Guinness. Don’t worry, it’s work-related.

A green, pint-glass-shaped Guinness costume has been reported stolen from an Eastpointe resident’s garage. It’s valued at $3,000 and had been flown to Michigan from Ireland to be used as advertising. Eastpointe Police Lt. Leo Borowsky says it is believed to be one of only two such costumes in the U.S.

Authorities say a Detroit beer distribution company loaned out the costume for Halloween. The owner of the home where the costume had been stored found out it had been stolen after the company asked for it back.

Borowsky says to be on the lookout. There’s no better time to dress up as a green pint of Guinness than on St. Patrick’s Day.
