Thieves stealing England's Bronze statuary
From the NT Times, it was in the Herald Tribune this morning.
Thieves Fond of Heavy Lifting Are Making Off With England's Bronze Sculptures By SARAH LYALL LONDON, Jan. 25 ‹ The stolen works include the enormous ‹ a hulking two-ton sculpture by Henry Moore ‹ and the comparatively modest ‹ a three-foot-long dung beetle by the artist Wendy Taylor. In between, there was a seven-foot lion, a life-size warthog and one of three abstract human figures that make up the sculptor Lynn Chadwick's huge "Three Watchers." ----- go the following for the rest of the article. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/26/ar...1&pagewanted=p rint *** Comments; If thieves are able to haul away two tons of statuary without being caught, this does not speak well for police services. The article indicates that this is an often committed type of crime. Maybe they should ask for aid from Bush's terrorists chasers who have tapped every telephone in the world. |
