SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. (AP) - A 700-pound cedar log stolen from the annual Loggerodeo chain saw carving contest in Sedro-Woolley has organizers stumped.

Police chief Doug Wood says it's a mystery who took the 8-foot log and why. He doesn't have any witnesses or leads.

The log, worth about $500 intact, disappeared from a downtown parking lot Sunday night or Monday morning.

Contest organizer JB Bryson thinks whoever took it had experience with logs and likely cut it into three pieces for the getaway.

A local businessman says he'll review surveillance tape of the area to try to nab the culprit.

Meanwhile, Bryson says he found two lower-quality replacement logs for the competition.
