If you recently lost a 300-pound dolphin statue, you might want to call the Cape Coral, Fl. police.

The cops are looking for the rightful owner of the bronze sculpture of three sea mammals after someone brought it into the nearby Allied Recycling, the Marco Island Sun Times reported.

Workers contacted authorities because they believed the aquatic work of art was a hot object lifted as part of a heist in North Fort Myers.

However, it appears there have been multiple dolphin thefts recently, because police verified that the statue wasn't the missing artwork that had already been reported.

They think the trio of dolphins belongs to a victim who hasn't reported the disappearance yet, the Sun-Sentinel reported.
