August 10, 2004
ALTOONA, Iowa – A clown isn’t finding much to smile about after someone stole his clown car. Delmer Jefferson, drove the miniature, bright yellow tow truck in parades. But on July 5, someone stole the truck from a parking lot.
“I’m heartbroken,” said Jefferson, whose been a clown for the Shriners for more than 30 years. “I can’t replace it. And it’s not worth anything to anyone else. It’s a clown car.”
Police Det. Jason Ferguson said the theft is under investigation.
“This thing is so unique,” Ferguson said. “What would anyone do with it?”
