So sad...
This story saddened me. (H/T MplsCrimeWatch)
"Minneapolis Park Police have arrested two men and a woman for stealing two statues from Theodore Wirth Park and trying to sell them as scrap metal.According to police, staffers at Greater Western Recycling in St. Paul got suspicious when the three people brought five large pieces of cut-up statue in for sale at noon Tuesday."
The 300 pound (each) statues were stolen from Theodore Wirth Park and sold for $310.00 or roughly $.50 a pound. The wirth Family was not happy.
"Wirth's grandson, Ted Wirth, was shocked someone took the statues. He was angered when he found out the statues had been cut into pieces."
I don't blame him at all.

Thieves within close proximity to Wirth Park? Shocking! Alert RT!
I'm surprised they had a truck capable of hauling 600 pounds. Most of the cars up on Plymouth Ave. tend to be early 90s Oldsmobiles with Michigan plates.
