Props created for beloved Disney World rides have been stolen from Epcot, according to local law enforcement.

On Thursday, The Orlando Sentinel reported that a Disney employee was taking inventory of a shed behind the Test Track ride on October 1 when they discovered missing items. The employee first noticed that sails from Peter Pan’s Flight, a ride in Magic Kingdom, were absent, and later discovered that a “shell” and three seats from the Space Mountain roller coaster were also gone.

According to the news outlet, the missing items are valued at more than $20,000.

This isn't the first time memorabilia has been stolen from Disney World. In May, a Disney employee was accused of stealing $14,000 worth of costumes and props from Epcot and Magic Kingdom.

As Insider previously reported, 24-year-old Patrick Allen Spikes was linked to the crime after police discovered photos of the missing items on his Twitter page. Spikes reportedly stole an animatronic character named "Buzzy" from the closed Cranium Command attraction, and clothes from The Haunted Mansion, among other props.

Representatives for Disney World did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
