Walrus genitalia bone stolen from iconic Camden cheesesteak spot, owner says

The owner of Donkey’s Place in Camden told NBC10 that someone stole one of the iconic cheesesteak place’s family jewels.

On the night of Dec. 29, according to Donkey’s Place employees, three guys drinking at the bar of the cheesesteak joint, which has been around since the 1940s, stole the man junk of a long-deceased walrus off the wall while a bartender went into the back.

“When they left, they put it underneath a scarf and just took it with them,” the bartender said.

Melissa McNamee, Donkey’s Place employee, also said that the restaurant and bar has lost a bit of its luster since the robbery.

“People are upset because it’s been around forever, and been a little joke between our regulars and everything,” she said.

The thieves were caught on several cameras and paid for their food with credit cards. However, the owner of Donkey’s Place said that he just wants the bone returned and doesn’t plan to press charges.

“It’s a conversation piece,” said Robert Lucas, Jr., the owner of Donkey’s Place. “Yeah, hand it out and like, ‘Hey, guess what this is.'”
