WAPAKONETA, Ohio (AP) - The post office in astronaut Neil Armstrong's Ohio hometown has a problem with space: there are empty ones where portraits of the lunar pioneer were stolen.

Employees arriving for work on Monday noticed the matted prints were gone from the post office in Wapakoneta about 50 miles north of Dayton.

Postmaster Jennifer Shoup says someone apparently ran off with the portraits from the unlocked lobby sometime on Friday.

Shoup says Neil Armstrong is what Wapakoneta is all about, so the theft is upsetting. She says investigators are examining surveillance video.

The prints of the person who became the first to walk on the moon in 1969 were hung in the post office within the last year after they were discovered in storage.
