Bowen's 10-metre high iconic Big Mango has gone missing from the north Queensland town overnight.
A Bowen Tourist Information employee arrived at work this morning to find the 10-tonne Big Mango fibreglass structure gone.
Mr McLaughlin said an employee received a big shock when she arrived at work to find the tourist attraction gone.
"I got a phone call from Christin Short, the tourism manager ... I thought she was joking to start off with, but she said 'no, I'm serious', so I've come out and sure enough the mango has disappeared," he said.
He says CCTV vision shows the culprits using big machinery to take the mango.
"It looks like it was sort of two o'clock this morning-type thing - there was ... some heavy equipment and it looks like they've taken the mango, so we're just working through that now," he said.
Mr McLaughlin says he expects the popular attraction to reappear again.
