Striking the Tally Lake Ranger District office on Sunday, thieves made off with an American icon.
At about 3:30 a.m. April 28, a pickup truck drove up onto the sidewalk outside the Wolfpack Way district office in Kalispell and its occupants stole the two-dimensional visage of Smokey Bear affixed to a fire prevention sign.
The facsimile of the beloved bear was relatively new, officials said.
