'Cat in the Hat' is a victim of thieves; suspects make off with some items and leave POMONA, Calif. (AP) -- They heaved and they hauled, stole a key and a ball. They went back for more -- took five items in all. Thieves stole $55,000 worth of excessively large, custom-designed props early Friday from the movie set of the Dr. Seuss classic, "The Cat in the Hat." Among the items taken were an 8-foot-long pair of dark blue glasses, a yellow 4-foot-long door key, a black 6-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot anvil with hammer, a 4-foot golf tee and a blue golf ball 7 feet in diameter that weighs more than 200 pounds. Police have not identified any suspects. Police Sgt. Rod Baker is quoted in the story as saying, "We have ruled out the Grinch."
