UPDATE: Naked Donald Trump Wakes Up at the Cleveland Heights Police Station

Naked Donald Trump is cooling his orange heels at the Cleveland Hts. police station waiting for someone to take him home.

UPDATE: The Cleveland Heights Naked Donald Trump has been found. Well, actually, Naked Trump was never lost, he has been cooling his orange heels in the Cleveland Heights Police Department evidence room. The statue was seen in Coventry only briefly before police took it away.

Cleveland Heights Police Chief Annette Mecklenburg told cleveland.com that the owner of the statue has 30 days to claim Naked Trump and take him home. If nobody claims Naked Donald, he will become city property.

The owner of the statue could be fined. Cleveland Heights has an ordinance that prohibits leaving articles or equipment on public property. The statue violated this ordinance - a minor misdemeanor, said Mecklenburg.

Fortunately, CHPD got to Naked Trump before the glue dried under his feet. Removal of the Naked Trump statue in San Francisco was more difficult and costly because the glue had dried.

If you are interested in seeing Donald Trump with his clothes on, he'll be at the James A. Rhodes Arena at the University of Akron on Monday.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS — When it comes to word association and Donald Trump, one might think of words like "Great" or "Fired" or "Bigly." Hopefully, "Naked" is not one of those words. However, Naked + Trump has become a reality for some cities across the nation.

According to the Facebook page for Big Fun — a unique toy store in the Coventry area of Cleveland — the "life size naked Trump sculpture mysteriously appeared and then disappeared on Coventry." (Hands seemed a little too big, though.)

A life-sized naked Donald Trump statue has appeared in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Cleveland (so glad he was wearing clothes at the RNC). An anarchist artist collective called INDECLINE claims responsibility for the statues, saying they are part of its "The Emperor Has No Balls" project.

The Naked Trump installation in New York City at Union Square only lasted until around 1 p.m. on Thursday before park services tore it down.
