[Frosty The Snowman] Some kids found a hat of mine and it animated a snowman. What legal recourse do I have?

Thinking about just taking it but I'm not sure how much legal trouble I can get in or what rights I have.

It's my hat. My rabbit ran off on it and some kids put it on a snowman.

I don't want to own... a person? I'm not exactly jazzed on murdering someone but he's alive because of MY hat. Is there something I can do to protect my property? 

Can the snowman state that the hat belongs to me? He's only minute old, so I don't think he's an adult?

I'd like to take it off to run some experiments. Maybe take it down to the cemetery for famous people. Maybe George Washington or Lincoln could come back? Lincoln liked hats.

Any thoughts would me great. The faster the better. Right now the cops are telling the snow... thing to stop so I don't know if he's doing something.

Oh no... can I be legally liable if the snowman does something?

It's petty theft so just call the police. When the car shows up explain to them that it's your hat. If you can prove ownership (your name in the hat, a picture that shows you holding that exact hat, etc) or if you can provide a witness to the "rabbit theft" that would be helpful too. The police will contact the children's parents and explain the situation. As long as you keep your cool and the parents are honest you should have your hat back in no time.
