Related: About this forum550 Life-Size David Hasselhoff Ads Pilfered
"Baywatch" actor David Hasselhoff was widely lusted after in the 80s, but thieves have taken it to the next level by stealing 550 life-size cutout ads of the actor.
Only 20 out of the original 570 Hoffs remain at Cumberland Farms convenience stores located in New England and Florida, The Associated Press reported.
The ads, part of the stores advertising campaign, display the buff "Baywatch" star wearing a tank top while hawking iced coffee.
The 60-year-old actor said he was rather amused by the pilfering.
"I think it's fantastic and I encourage everybody out there to go get more. The first thing I thought of was that I was in trouble and then I thought, 'Oh good theyre not accusing me of stealing, theyre accusing people of stealing me,'" Hasselhoff told WHDH-TV, NBCs Boston affiliate.

I was pumping gas and noticed The Hoff watching me.
From two places, as the Cumberland Farms has a bust of him in the window as well.
