Georgia police are searching for a man who police say was “infatuated” with a rubber duck in a stranger’s hot tub.
The suspect is wanted for trespassing onto the homeowner’s property and stealing their towels before fleeing the scene, according to the Chatham County Police Department, which said the man became “obsessed” with the rubber duck he found at the residence.
“He trespassed onto their property, used their hot tub, became obsessed with their rubber duck, then stole their pool towels. It’s obviously not the biggest crime we’ve dealt with this month, but it has a lot of ick-factor. So, we’d like to find this guy so he doesn’t do this to someone else,” police wrote.

Police said that surveillance video from the home in the 9000 block of Whitefield Avenue shows the man trespassing between 2:15 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. on September 1.
Video footage shows the man swimming in the pool before hopping into the hot tub, where he became “infatuated” with a rubber duck and was seen “intensely interacting” with the toy, according to police.
“While in the hot tub, the man is caught on video becoming infatuated with a rubber duck. The video shows the man spending more than 10 minutes intensely interacting with the duck,” police wrote.
Police did not go into detail about the nature of the acts the infatuated man performed on the duck, although a grainy, black-and-white still of the security footage appears to show the suspect holding the duck near his face, though it is unclear exactly what he is doing.
The man then left the home on a bicycle.
As the man was leaving, he took several luxury beach towels with him, valued at a total of $1,200.
