Britain's Prince Charles has had a giant wooden carrot stolen from his Duchy Home farm in Gloucestershire.
The 66-year-old royal has enlisted the help of the police after his 100kg orange vegetable was snatched from the entrance of the estate in South West England last week.
A spokesperson for Clarence House said: "It works on an honesty box system. There was a carrot, advertising that the stall was there and it was stolen on Halloween night."
The law enforcement officers are yet to catch or discover a lead as to who is responsible for the crime but has confirmed their investigation is still ongoing at the moment.
A police report, obtained by the Daily Telegraph newspaper, stated: "Between 1600 hrs on 31st October, and 1000 hrs on 1st November 2015, by the roadside on Duchy Home Farm, Shipton Moyne, Tetbury, unknown offenders have stolen a 100kg wooden carrot. This would have needed two persons and at least a van. If any persons saw anything suspicious and have any information, please call police on 101."
Meanwhile, Charles - who is also known as the Prince of Wales - turned the estate into an all-organic farm in 1985.
Since then, Home Farm has become a successful and viable working business as well as a flagship for the benefits of an organic and sustainable form of agriculture.

Bill Speakman, 88, who was attached to the 1st Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers, told the Daily Express newspaper after the commemorative event of the royal pair: "They are just lovely people. It is a beautiful thing to do.
"It is wonderful being here and it is wonderful to see all the old comrades here today. We really are proud of them."
Harry, who was dressed in his frock coat, and his grandfather walked around the field and laid their crosses of remembrance in front of two graves of unknown British soldiers from the First and Second World Wars.
The pair then took part in a two-minute silence, before they met and chatted to the veterans and the families of those who have lost their remarkable loved ones.
Before they left the garden to continue with their royal duties, the pair were invited into St Margaret's Church to sign the "distinguished visitors" book.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth paid a visit to three military sites around Gloucester yesterday (05.11.15).
The 89-year-old monarch arrived in Gloucestershire, South West England, on Thursday morning to tour and officially open a new briefing room at the Ministry of Defence Office.
Barry Thompson told the BBC: "It was a great privilege to show her what we do in the Medal Office workshop. She was very interested in how the engraving machine works."
The Queen then went on to the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), which helps families deal with administrative challenges after a bereavement, where she opened up about her family's search for the remains of her uncle Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon, who was killed in the First Wold War in northern France in 1915.
Mandy Drummond from the JCCC explained: "We felt so privileged that she came to visit. It was recognising the whole team, and recognising the families that we help."
Her colleague Tracey Bowers added: "It was very humbling to show Her Majesty the good work we do for our service personnel and their families and what we do to honour those who have given their life in service of our country."
Elizabeth later rounded up her trip by stopping by the headquarters of Nato's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), at Imjin Barracks in Innsworth, to tour the facility.

A woman grabbed and kissed Britain's Prince Charles during his visit to Dunedin, New Zealand, yesterday (05.11.15).
The 66-year-old royal was left stunned when him and his wife Camilla, 68, hopped off a train in the city and Lesley Hayde, who is originally from Yorkshire, North England, flung her arms around him and gave him a big smacker.
Speaking to stuff.co.nz, she said: "When he came out, I shouted, 'Give us a kiss, give us a kiss, Charlie.' I couldn't believe it when he turned around and came towards me."
She added with a huge grin: "He said, 'Oh I don't know if we should kiss', and I just grabbed him and we got a kiss, and we got a kiss from Camilla afterwards."
However, Lesley was left fearing for her future when royal security bounded through the crowd and led her away.
She explained: "I thought, 'Oh my god, I'm going to end up in that big prison behind me. But it was brilliant."

Britain's Princess Anne officially opened the Widnes Police Station near Liverpool yesterday (04.11.15).
The 65-year-old royal - the daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip - stopped by the facility on Gerrard Street to declare it open, meet staff and take a tour of the building.
Crime Commissioner John Dwyer told the Liverpool Echo newspaper: "I was delighted to be able to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to Widnes Police Station."

Princess Anne - who is the patron of the charity Catch 22 - was shown the briefing room, introduced to officers, PCSOs, detectives, intelligence officers and Special Constables.
She then finished off her visit by unveiling a plaque to commemorate the station's official opening.
Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: "It was particularly important to us that we showcase our work with our colleagues at Catch 22 and Missing From Home in helping young people in the area, and she seemed genuinely engaged and impressed with what we do."
He added: "I think she left with a real sense of how we work and our ethos under the 'We're Here' principles - that we're here for communities, for victims, for justice and when and where you need us."

Britain's Duchess of Cornwall missed the start of her tour of New Zealand because she was suffering from "jet lag."
The 68-year-old royal was absent from her first engagement at Government House because she was exhausted and battling a cough when she and her husband Prince Charles, 66, arrived in Wellington on Wednesday (04.11.15).
The Governor General, Sir Jerry Mateparae, reportedly told the Duchess to skip the reception and to get some rest instead, according to the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
It's believed the blonde beauty, who married into the famous family in 2005, is the first member of the royals to ever miss an engagement due to jet lag.
Camilla reportedly flew into Australia first class after spending a week holidaying at an undisclosed location.
In the past, the Duchess has stopped by a spa in India before kicking off her tours of Asia and Australasia, but the Palace refused to confirm whether she was there this time.
