Two $2,800 cow costumes taken from a California Chick-Fil-A this year were returned to their owner thanks to a Craiglist Ad according to The Redlands Police Department CBS Los Angeles reported Tuesday.
Robert Michael Trytten of Riverside, Calif., was arrested Oct. 30 for possession of stolen property CBS Los Angeles reported after the police department came across an ad on the listing site last week, and acting as an undercover officer consequently got in touch with Trytten about purchasing the garmets for Halloween according to police CBS Los Angeles reported.
Officers then set up plans to see Trytten at an apartment complex in the 2600 block of East Highland Avenue in San Bernardino, Calif when he was arrested after displaying the costumes to the officer according to police, CBS Los Angeles reported.
"When the seller told the officer that he had two for sale at $350 apiece, the officer replied that it would make the perfect his-and-hers costumes for him and his wife," Redland's Police Department spokesman Carl Baker told CBS Los Angeles. A pop-up canopy cover was also recovered after it was also reportedly taken.
Trytten is currently in the Central Division Center in San Bernardino, Calif., on $275,000 bail CBS Los Angeles reported.
