Beloved walrus penis stolen from N.J. cheesesteak icon. Owner is blubbering mad.

Donkey’s Place in Camden is well-known for its iconic cheesesteaks, so good Anthony Bourdain once called them the best in Philadelphia despite their location across the Delaware River.

The South Jersey bar and restaurant is perhaps less renowned for its antique walrus penis bone.

Owner Rob Lucas Jr. told NJ Advance Media that Donkey’s Place has kept a walrus baculum — a bone in the penis of many mammals — behind the bar for as long as he can remember. The popular conversation piece sits alongside a megalodon tooth and several other artifacts.

But last week, a customer stole the phallic favorite, Lucas said.

“The bartender handed it out for them to figure out what it was. She went to the back to do something else and then one dude stole it,” Lucas said. “We got his picture, but I don’t think he’s from around town.”
