Have you seen this trojan? Troy University's mascot is missing

TROY, AL (WSFA) - Have you seen this...Trojan? T-Roy, the Troy University mascot is missing - the University confirms the costume was stolen from a student's residence.

The T-Roy costume was reported missing from an off-campus residence. The substitute for the normal T-Roy worked in costume at the Special Olympics. When the person went to return the costume to its home in the locker room he couldn't get in because the building was locked, so he took the costume home.

That's when T-Roy was last seen.

The substitute thought someone was pulling a prank on him by taking the costume but after several days, when the costume wasn't returned, he reported T-Roy missing.

Troy University has filed a police report with the Troy University Police Department.

The costume is valued at $5,500.
