Stillwater Plant Heist Suspect Still at Large: Surveillance Video

This is just the latest in several reports of potted-plant thefts in the Stillwater area in recent weeks.

The person beneath the gray hair still remains a mystery in the Lift Bridge Brewing Company's potted-plant caper.
Stillwater police have only gotten a couple of tips about the heist that went down at 5:20 a.m. Saturday.
The security video (above) shows what appears to be a gray-haired woman swiping a 100-pound planter (valued at $125) before driving away in a white, four-door pickup truck.
The video, and plant-heist story, have taken on a life of their own since being posted on the Lift Bridge Brewing Company's Facebook page last weekend.
"Arriving in a white GMC/Chevy pickup, we had an early morning visitor," Saturday's status update reads. "She used her super human strength to lift and steal our potted plants. I hope you enjoy the plants."The security footage of the heist has been viewed more than 40,000 times, Lift Bridge Brewing's CEO Dan Schwarz told the Pioneer Press.
But the case still remains unsolved.
"We would love to get it back," Schwarz jokingly told KARE 11. "In fact, we would probably trade a beer for its return."
