Somebody actually stole Sparty's golf cart and police are searching for a suspect

Of all the things to steal, a mascot’s on-campus method of transportation is an odd thing to settle on.

Apparently somebody really did that. And if it was a joke, it isn’t one anymore.

The Michigan State University Police Department is searching for whoever stole Sparty’s golf cart. As seen here, the green golf cart features MSU logos on both sides and in the front:

Police said that someone stole the vehicle from the MSU Union on Sunday and that it hasn’t been seen since.

It’s worth noting that Michigan State and Michigan have had their fair share of prank wars recently, most of which involved defacing of on-campus statues. Apparently that’s what some believe this is a part of:

If you stole Sparty's Golf Cart, prank time is over…RETURN IT! Police are now involved. This could get ugly!!!
