Thieves stole $55,000 worth of excessively large, custom-designed props early Friday from the movie set of the Dr. Seuss classic, "The Cat in the Hat."

Among the items taken were an 8-foot-long pair of dark blue glasses, a yellow 4-foot-long door key, a black 6-foot by 4-foot by 8-foot anvil with hammer, a 4-foot golf tee and a blue golf ball 7 feet in diameter that weighs more than 200 pounds.

Police have not identified any suspects.

"We have ruled out the Grinch," said Sgt. Rod Baker.
