Milwaukee Shocker: Giant Cheese Sculpture Vanishes OvernightMilwaukee Shocker: Giant Cheese Sculpture Vanishes Overnight Milwaukee, WI – The world-renowned giant cheese sculpture, “Cheesehenge,” has mysteriously vanished from its location in Veterans Park overnight. The 12-foot-tall, 10-ton sculpture, which has become an iconic landmark for the city, has left no trace behind. “We’re just completely baffled,” said park ranger Julie Peterson. “We did a full sweep of the park this morning and there’s no sign of it anywhere.” Cheesehenge was created in 2002 by local artist Paul McKenna as a tribute to Wisconsin’s dairy industry. The sculpture was made from 18,000 pounds of cheddar cheese and has since become a popular tourist attraction. Local residents and tourists alike are expressing shock and disbelief at the disappearance of the beloved sculpture. “It’s like part of Milwaukee has been stolen,” said one resident. “I can’t believe it’s gone.” Police are currently investigating the incident and have launched a search for the missing cheese. However, there are no suspects or leads at this time. Some observers have speculated that the sculpture may have been stolen by cheese enthusiasts or pranksters. Others have even suggested that it may have been targeted by animal activists protesting the dairy industry. “We’re doing everything we can to find Cheesehenge and bring it back,” said Police Chief Michael Brunson. “This is a serious crime and we’re not going to rest until we solve it.” In the meantime, the city of Milwaukee is planning to hold a candlelight vigil in the park where Cheesehenge once stood. Residents and visitors are encouraged to gather on Friday evening to pay their respects to the missing landmark. The disappearance of Cheesehenge has left Milwaukee with a gaping hole in its cultural identity. As the search continues, the city waits with bated breath for the return of its beloved giant cheese.
